Ana María Caballero
Ana María Caballero (b. 1981) is a multidisciplinary, award-winning Colombian-American poet and artist.
Her work explores how biology delimits our societal and cultural rites, ripping the veil off romanticized motherhood and questioning notions that package sacrifice as a virtue. The speakers in her poems find their voice by navigating the intellectual and the everyday, daring to name what’s left unsaid in that all-important space of home.
„We often think of language as precise and of images as open-ended, but there are so many connotations and slippages to words that burst open when we try to fix them, when we try to confine them to a two-dimensional image. “ – Ana Maria Caballero
