ep. 204 - Ana María Caballero Rattle Poetry
-
- Arts
Ana María Caballero is a Colombian-American literary 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, a Sevens Foundation Grant and has been a finalist for numerous other literary prizes, including the prestigious Kurt Brown, Vassar Miller and Academy of American Poets Prizes. The author of five books in Spanish and English, with a sixth forthcoming in 2024, Caballero has presented her poems as fine art at leading international venues, such as bitforms, UNIT, Gazelli Art House, L’Avant Galerie Vossen, and FeralFile, and has released work in partnership with TIME, Diario ABC and Playboy. Widely recognized as a digital poetry pioneer whose own practice is transforming the way language is exhibited, experienced and transacted, she’s also the cofounder of Web3 literary gallery theVERSEverse, long listed for the Lumen Prize and the Digital Innovation in Art Award.
