Flor Bárcenas Feria was born 25 years ago in Monteria, a troubled city in Colombia. Poetry for her has a very intimate relationship and is related to that desire to be and that desire for freedom.
She was a guest on a panel at the Bogotá Book Fair (FILBo) and spoke with Americanas about how trans poetry combats literary hegemonies. She says that as a child she did not imagine that literature could take her so far. She is writing in that key claiming desire and stereotyping the only places where trans women have been placed.
