The Wish
The Wish is a book that contains one single poem titled, “The Wish,” printed 197 times in its pages. When taken as integers, the digits in 197 add up eventually to 8, a number that represents abundance.
Mammal
Caballero's MAMMAL is a poetry collection that probes how the inescapable rhythms of our physicality govern our emotional hungers. MAMMAL gives voice to what is left unsaid in that all-important space of the home. Forthcoming in 2024 via Steel Toe Books.
Tryst
Tryst is Ana María Caballero’s first digital book, a collection of three arresting and poetic short stories, each with a one-of-a-kind generative cover. Caballero presents her book as a digitally native art piece and as a virtual gathering place in partnership with web3 publishing house Alexandria.
Entre domingo y domingo
Entre domingo y domingo gathers the poems Caballero wrote during her twenties, while living in Bogotá. This collection received Colombia’s José Manuel Arango National Poetry Prize, making her the first woman to win this honor. It was also awarded second prize in the nationwide Ediciones Embalaje Prize.
Reverse Commute
LA-based Silver Birch Press published Ides, an anthology of fifteen poetry chapbooks, including Caballero’s Reverse Commute.
Mid-life
Published by Finishing Line Press, mid-life is Ana María Caballero’s first stand-alone poetry chapbook. At its heart is the grueling intersection of birth and death that occurs at mid-life, when parents decline, children appear and marriages settle.
