Looking for something else, I stumbled across a tiny image of a book with a title that looked very much like it referred to a goddess/saint I know. I put the title of the book by Isabel Blanco Ollero into DuckDuckGo's browser window and got a translation:
BRIGID - O EL FUEGO DE LA TRANSFORMACIÓN works out to:
BRIGID - OR THE FIRE OF TRANSFORMATION.
Now, I know I'm on to something.
But I can’t read it, or even find an article in English to tell me about her. Who will read and tell us what she says?
We live in hope!

UPDATE
One reader says:
It's a book of poetry, apparently there are four poems. I can't find any of the actual text without buying it and there doesn't appear to be an online copy.
I have found what appears to be an illuminating article, thouh' of course I am going on the strength of the odd word I can guess.
"BRIGID O EL FUEGO DE LA TRANSFORMACIÓN, DE ISABEL BLANCO OLLERO" by MANU LÓPEZ MARAÑÓN.

An interview with the author can be found here: https://www.diariodenavarra.es/noticias/blogs/sopa-letras/2019/02/26/el-fuego-transformador-isabel-blanco-ollero-643294-3356.html
She talks briefly about what she found inspirational in the figure of Brigid, but it does not appear as though the poems are specifically Brigidine.
Thank you so much, Race!
