The poems in this collection wrestle with social habituation and its strident demands on the mind and body, often relaying this struggle through the viewpoint and voice of a robot. Snodgrass, through the use of repetitive language, exploits the electricity of the chant, and the power of the glitch, to shift meaning and its implications....These poems create disruption in the complacent mind and ask the reader to look askew, to look slant, for the truth of how we live. They are a powerful commentary on our modern world.

What a fresh reboot. Kristine Snodgrass's eye-crossing, half-goofy/ half-enraged clatter demos how early and with what gusto this smart poet adopted her signature multi-hinged poetics. Art me, interspecies! This book's a pleasure bot built to last.

-Terri Witek, author of The Rape Kit, Body Switch, Exit Island, and The Shipwreck Dress.

Definitely a "mixed-era artifact." Robot, Girl is one of the minute: poems about a "dainty little bomb." Gender-in-the-face of Kant, Rilke but so roboty (a bow to the machine that makes us). While Snodgrass deals, words play, word-splays. Art me! Funny! Weird variant.

-Terese Svoboda, author of Trailer Girl and Other Stories and the Great American Desert.
