RUGE EL BOSQUE: ECOPOESÍA DE MESOAMÉRICA

This plurilingual anthology gathers environmental poetic expressions written in Guna, Maya  K’iche, Nahuatl, Belizean Creole, Garifuna, Yucatec Maya, Spanish and English. The volume indexes the cosmological and linguistic plurality of the Mesoamerican region composed of the current nation-states of Mexico, Guatemala, Belize, El Salvador, and parts of Nicaragua, Costa Rica, and Honduras. The included poetics demonstrate the importance of considering natural biodiversity and linguistic diversity as concomitant phenomena, and to reflect about the risk posed by colonial and capitalist extractivist models to the existence of Abiayala’s territories.
