«Una Fiesta Poética» at Ferlandina 26
On Sunday 15 March 2026 Verónica was one of the ten voices of «Una Fiesta Poética», Katharsis Festival's afternoon at Ferlandina 26, with Ana Quintas, Ricardo Olave Montecinos, Jose de la Peña, Lana Elzora, Facu Cabrera, Ioana Lungu, Taha Salim, Ander Eleven and Valeria Florez, plus jazz on vinyl – to a full house.
Readings and workshops
Verónica reads at festivals, libraries, cultural centres and poetry series, and brings poetry into prisons. To invite her or propose a project, message her on Instagram.
«Nunca fuimos de nadie»
Her first collection, «Nunca fuimos de nadie» (We never belonged to anyone), was published by Bajamar Editores. It was born, she says, from daring: to live and love with an open heart, to look into the mirror of a love shared with another woman and understand that we never belonged to anyone.
Anthologies and stages
Two of her poems appear in the anthology «Carrer dels Còdols: poetas de Barcelona», edited by Maite Jou for issue 5 of the magazine El eco de los libres and presented at the Ateneu Barcelonès. She has read at the Terrassa Philosophy Festival, at Poesía Viva by Barcelona Cathedral and at a reading supporting Mexico's searching mothers.
