“When I read Fiorella Terrazas for the first time I felt I was reading the voice of my generation. In her poems, I find the pains and hopes of those of us who were born between 1989 and 1996. We, the infamous millennials. We are accused of being made of glass because everything offends us, we offend. Hyperconnectivity is not the only thing that characterizes us, so does hypersensitivity and both are closely related. FioLoba’s poetry is hypersensitive in the rawest sense of the word. She doesn’t approach millennials in the cliché way we are used to because she doesn’t need to explore it, she simply unloads it in her verses.” — Lucía Carvalho

Fiorella Terrazas aka FioLoba (Lima, Peru. 1990) is a neurodivergent queer artist, poet and cultural organizer. FioLoba is a creature of the Internet. Her work has been published on websites, magazines and poetry blogs in several Latin American countries. FioLoba’s poems are found in the intersectional blender of body, self-image, politics and gender, where queer-ethics and glitch-aesthetics become in turn positions for a poetic voice browsing across the decay of our technological future. Compiling the best of her poetic output into a new functional artifact, Cam Girl & Other Poems (2017-2021) is a wide-ranging selection of the work of one of Latin America’s most notorious Internet poets.
