Ana Enriqueta Terán (Valera, Venezuela, 1918) is a poet and diplomat. She is one of the fundamental voices of the Venezuelan poetry of the twentieth century. She worked outside her home country on various occasions, serving as a delegate to the Asamblea de la Comisión Interamericana de Mujeres in Buenos Aires in 1949. In 1952, she retired from her diplomatic career to dedicate herself to poetry. She was awarded the Premio Nacional de Literatura in 1989, and she was granted a doctorate honoris causa from the Universidad de Carabobo in the same year. Her poetic work, marked by great formal precision, began with Al norte de la sangre [North of the blood] (1946). Piedra de habla [Stone of speech] (2014), published in Venezuela by Biblioteca Ayacucho, is one of her most recent titles.
