Arando el aire: la ecología en la poesía y la música de Nicaragua by Steven F. White, Lewis Professor of Spanish. 400 Elefantes/Alcaldía Municipal de León. 2011. 638 pp.  Essays with an ecocritical focus on the writings of major Nicaraguan poets and singer-songwriters such as Rubén Darío, Ernesto Cardenal, Carlos Mejía Godoy, and many others. This Central American country, known as the Republic of Poets, also has a rich biodiversity that is threatened by destructive human activity.  White’s study examines how an ecological awareness in poetry and song in Nicaragua can become a model of more ethical behavior for people in other parts of the world.
