Ecopoesia.com is the result of a research project led by Professor Odile Cisneros in collaboration with a team of research computing analysts* and students** and at the University of Alberta, in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada. A trilingual (Spanish, Portuguese, English) online resource mapping the relationships between contemporary Latin American poetry and the environment, this website is intended both for general readers of poetry as well as for students and researchers in the areas of environment and literature.

The resource’s digital platform allows for different ways of mapping texts. Beyond the traditional “author/work” format, readers will be able to create digitals maps of poetry focusing on abstract concepts (man and the cosmos, hum[an]imal, vegetal life, etc.) or specific topics (pollution, endangered species, indigenous ecological knowledge). Through links to actual maps, images and sounds, it will encourage readers to link poetry to place, text to geography.
