Edition of 5, 2021
“Offspring” is part of Blue Prints, a closed collection of five poems that subtly responds to the concept of a “roadmap” vis à vis the creative process. Rather than asking where art may lead, Caballero invites readers to consider where art comes from by sharing her own poetic practice.
The media-rich poems in Caballero’s Blue Prints collection are linked graphically but also thematically. Each poem approaches the question of what drives literary creation from a different perspective, but, in all, inevitability is palpable.
For Caballero, writing is not a matter of choice or of destination–instead, writing is her blueprint, at once the origin, essence and design.

Offspring
{What will I do with all these #poems
The good ones won’t get ://published
(Until one day they do)
[But what about the ones
The ones I_write abstracted
(Or bored)
They are #poemstoo]
It always comes—
“The ‘moment’ I release history”
& plot my life as print}
