Environmental Poetry in the Americas/Poesía ambiebtal en las Américas brings together poets Nicole Cecilia Delgado (Puerto Rico) and Eliana Hernández Pachón (Colombia) for a Spanish-language reading and conversation with two key Latin American voices whose work draws connections between poetry, visual arts, and environmental thought. Through archival and documentary approaches, their writing addresses hurricanes, extractivism, and forced migration. Recent publications include Delgado’s Período especial (2019) and Islas adyacentes / Adjacent Islands (2022), and Hernández Pachón’s award-winning La mata / The Brush (2020, 2024). Both are influential figures in independent publishing—Delgado as co-founder of La Impresora and Hernández Pachón through collaborations with presses and collectives such as Como un lugar—highlighting poetry’s power to envision new ecological relationships and collective futures.
