Ana Maria Reyes Barrios (Caracas, Venezuela, 1983) She was born in the 80s in the heart of tropical chaos. The daughter of filmmakers and social activists, she grew up among books, old movie cans and combative songs that from a very young age led her to understand that poetry was her way of relating to the world. With an avid and passionate imagination, she liked to tell epic stories and incredible adventures since she was a child. As an adult, after having studied arts and documentary film and having lived in different cities around the world, she became a traveler and a nomad, finding in freedom the purest source of inspiration.

Since then, she collects stories and tales that she writes in the form of narrative and poetry. She practices writing and creation as anarchic rituals that keep her alive and bring her closer to the other inhabitants of this land. She has published Sombras De La Sal with the publishing house Equidistancias (London-Buenos Aires) and her poetry has also appeared in various poetic anthologies both in Venezuela and in the United Kingdom.
