Sobre nosotros

EcoTheo Collective is a literary-arts nonprofit that celebrates wonder, enlivens conversations, and inspires commitments around ecology, spirituality, and art, that publishes a magazine, runs a reading series, hosts an annual festival, and administers fellowships.
EcoTheo Collective envisions a world in which care for the places we inhabit, the people we encounter, and the lives we lead makes for lasting beauty in art, nature, and community. We pursue this vision through publications, support for creative writers, artists, and theologians, and ways of gathering that embody attention and devotion.
In 2021 we launched EcoTheo Collective, a 501(c)3 nonprofit, a deeper partnership between EcoTheo Review and LOGOS Collective, which has grown to include Wonder in Wyoming and the Starshine and Clay Fellowships, a collaboration with Cave Canem.

Programs:
• With EcoTheo Review, we publish original poetry, fiction, essays, and visual art, along with book reviews, interviews and scholarly articles that explore our connections and conundrums in nature and faith. Responding to themes from adoration to vulnerability, writers and artists submit work that we select and share through quarterly print editions and in weekly posts on our website. Our work has been a finalist for the Whiting Literary Magazine Prize and received an Amazon Literary Partnership from CLMP.
• LOGOS Poetry Collective: LOGOS was launched in 2017 as a liturgically-inflected reading series and community with a goal of evoking transcendence through poetry, ritual, and conversation.
• Wonder Festival engages the power of literature and contemplative practices to heal and transform, while connecting participants with the sacredness of places that range from the urban topography of Austin to the wild beauty of the Grand Tetons. Over several days of readings, workshops, and guided walks, we commune with one another and the more-than-human world. The festival features lecture by an ecotheologian-in-residence and culminates in a reading by the Starshine & Clay fellows and guest judges.
• The Lorca Latinx Poetry Prize supports the publication of a dual-language, artisanal chapbook by a poet with no more than one full-length collection in print. The Prize facilitates various trans-oceanic platforms for this poet to present their work—as a way to celebrate Federico García Lorca’s legacy of friendship across borders, and to globalize Latinx poetry in the 21st century.
• The Desert Poets Project is a collaboration with The Wee House in Alpine, Texas to offer time, space, and financial support to a poet whose work demonstrates a commitment to ecological witness. The Project will recognize the work of diverse poets already working in ecopoetry and develop programming for BIPOC, LGBTQIA+ poets who are underrepresented in the field with a well-paid residency in the remarkable geographical surroundings of Far West Texas.
• Starshine and Clay Fellowship, a partnership with Cave Canem, honors the legacy of Lucille Clifton and supports emerging Black poets with paid publishing and performing opportunities along with mentorship from Cave Canem poets. Fellows have had opportunities to read and have consultations with award-winning poets Gregory Pardlo, Airea D. Matthews, Ross Gay, Roger Reeves, and aracelis girmay.
