Biography

Ana María Caballero is a first-generation Colombian-American poet and artist whose work explores how biology delimits societal and cultural rites, ripping the veil off romanticized motherhood and questioning notions that package sacrifice as a virtue.

She's the recipient of the Beverly International Prize, Colombia’s José Manuel Arango National Poetry Prize, the Steel Toe Books Poetry Prize, and a Sevens Foundation Grant. Her Pushcart Prize and Best of the Net-nominated work has been sold at live auction, widely published and exhibited internationally at venues such as bitforms in New York, JustMAD in Madrid, Gazelli Art House in London and L’Avant Galerie Vossen in Paris. An author of five books and recognized as a Web3 poetry pioneer, she's also one of the founders of digital poetry gallery theVERSEverse.
