Where New Mexico's writers lived and wrote — the Hispano and Pueblo traditions, the Taos and Santa Fe colonies, and the bookshops that shaped the state's reading life. 56 places, each linked to the full story behind it.
Every place on the map links to an in-depth guide. Writers are grouped by the traditions that define New Mexico's literary geography.
The New Mexico Literary Atlas is, to our knowledge, the first interactive map to bring together the state's writers, its Hispano and Pueblo literary traditions, the Taos and Santa Fe colonies, and its historic bookshops in one place. It is compiled from the New Mexico Literacy Project's library of author collecting guides and bookstore histories, and is free to cite, quote, and link.
Journalists and educators are welcome to use it. For a high-resolution screenshot, a specific author's source guide, or commentary on New Mexico's literary geography, reach the project at 702-496-4214.
