This is definitely a bit late. I love how BJB draws from so many different wells of influence to construct her poem. Though different sections have different feels, the poem has a cohesive feel. I especially love the going in and out of the Spanish and Filipino languages. The poem is visceral and the pious, religious feel in the backdrop give it a twisted feeling. I haven't finished it yet, so I'm not going to start prescribing meaning yet.
