Her book entitled, Beyond the Page: Latin American Poetry from the Calligramme to the Virtual (Academica Press, 2008), focuses on the aesthetic and theoretical relationships between art, music, sound, visual typography and the word in avant-garde poetry including digital poetics of Mexico, Uruguay, Chile, Peru and Brazil. Her most recent research interests center on digital poetics and aesthetics as a cultural study of the effects of globalization.
