Textual redundancy is the key to Julia Steinecke’s 62 page Bionic Woman. The largely found poetry of this droll chapbook is culled from sources as esteemed as The Six Million Dollar Man, The Bionic Woman game from Parker Brothers and, of course, Welcome Home Jamie, the novel. But it is the multiplicity of pics featuring Lindsay Wagner herself that make this book a singular vision of the Bionic Woman’s struggle for mental emancipation from the physical prison of her super-powers (don’t worry, I’m kidding).
