About Cyborgia:

"Cyborgia maps a "post-human," pro(to)-woman, celluloid landscape helixed with a cyber-cabinet of curiosities-animatronic bones, cyborg cowgirls, teledildonics & alien automatons. Slaviero's book is the robochild of Battlestar Galactica & Angela Carter, & equally as brilliant-full of lucent wit, imagination, intelligence & a scathing playfulness: Her poems navigate the fetishization & disassembly of female cyborgs as metaphor for the multiple violences enacted on women; and, though Cyborgia hosts fishflesh & machetes, it shimmers with shape-shifting ability, is both kinetic & kaleidoscopic in providing a transgressive space for us. I am irrevocably hooked into Slaviero's frequency & her conquering talent."
—Simone Muench

"Melding the language of sci-fi and sensuality, Cyborgia wallows delightfully in its rhythm and vocabulary, yet remains sharp and meticulous, slicing through the barriers of mechanism and the female body, of systems and viscera, where the women are filled with milk and smoke, rainwater and wristwatches, fractals and fish."
—Kristy Bowen

"'[No virus was ever this pretty.]' So ends Cyborgia, Susan Slaviero's redolent, ambitious debut. In this lyric guide to cyborg feminism-complete with robosexuality and teledildonics-Slaviero traverses traditional female tropes, including fairy-tale heroines, mermaids, and brides, twisting them into constructions of 'cold-clones' and 'flatscreen mystics.' Her poems themselves cyborgs, Slaviero's work embodies the stereotypically feminine while reeling toward posthumanism. A phantasmagoria, Cyborgia is a slightly grotesque, whip-smart collection that establishes Slaviero as a poet to watch."
