"Bigotry" is not on the table, Bob. But an unfortunate complicity in it (channeling Pound, I assume) is bothersome. I think she has yoked two subjects together by violence--the death of a baby bird (I assume that's what it is) and global capitalism and its evils--tossed them into a salad of crudites and served it up. This is really not post-modernist, as someone has said; it's a classic high modernist collage technique, forcing the readier to make sense of the juxtaposition.
