Karen Villeda (born 1985) is a Mexican writer. She is part of a Latinamerican generation of female writers that, according to Valerie Miles in Granta, "are ambitious, they are experimenting, their writing is untamed and unleashed, there’s an anger, a passion, their storytelling has drive and power. There are many more examples of this in writers we admired such as Karen Villeda".
Life
Villeda was born in Tlaxcala, Mexico. She has won some of the most important awards in Mexico in poetry, essay and short stories. She participated in the International Writing Program in 2015 and she was writer-in-residence at Vermont Studio Center. Her poetry have been translated to several languages as Arabic, French, German, English and Portuguese. Her work as poet is part of the Archive of Hispanic Literature on Tape of the Library of Congress (2015)[1] and she is one of the few Mexican Writers in the archive. She is one of the first women in create electronic literature in Mexico. Her interest in poetry and its relation with various technological resources began with LABO: laboratory of cyberpoetry (www.labo.com.mx). Part of her digital work is in the third volume of Electronic Literature Collection of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Villeda has been awarded with grants from the Pollock-Krasner Foundation, Open Society Foundations, Ragdale Foundation, Fundacion Gabo, Hivos, US State Department and Young Creators Program of the National Fund for Culture and Arts (FONCA).
