Mabanglo / The Body Politics in the Poetry of Elynia S. Mabanglo. 2015 The theme about body is discerned in Elynia S. Mabanglo's poetry on love, migration, desire, and grief. In her works, the body has a central role regarding objectification and labor. Mabanglo differently situates and depicts the body's weariness and disappearance constructed by the changing period of economic order in Filipino society. The decades of 80's and 90's seemed a productive phase for Mabanglo's writings about women migrant workers. Her poetry which discusses and provides concrete images on the status of women workers inside and outside of the Philippines are figurative discourse of the country's economic and political crises. Every foreign land and repressive experiences peened in her poetry are symbolical to the intensified crises under the neoliberal policies. Her metaphors and structures versification on the effects of suppression of women's liberation is reflective of the incessant oppression in our society. The depiction in literature, particularly in poetry, of the massive labor export, is symbolic to the deceptive development based on Western ideology. Mabanglo, Ruth Elynia S.
