Desastre lento: Una falsa elegía

This article responds to an invitation to write about the role of the ecology in my practice as a poet, specifically as the author of the collection Desastre lento, which was first published in 2017 and, most recently, in 2023. In the lapse of these years, ecological criticism and poetics have gained strength in the fields of Literary Studies and Creative Writing. On this account, this article reflects on the poems of the book which have to do with the ecological questions such as environmental catastrophe, animality, and end of the world narratives. I analyze them through exercises of close reading and an interdisciplinary dialogue.
