Painful, good, short book of poetry with some formal gestures - the pantoum “How to Pray,” in particular, is a fantastic and gorgeously unexpected. (A pantoum, the French/English version of the Malayan pantun berkait, according to Wikipedia 😉, takes the second and fourth line of a quatrain and repeats them as the first and third lines of the next stanza.)

And of course there‘s also *pans camera around dramatically* all of US history of racism and white power over Filipinx folks, not to mention sexism. “What We Learned from K., 1997,” is superb about the latter. 5y
