Gaby Sambuccetti is an Argentine-born, UK-based poet, writer and cultural practitioner whose work moves between languages, memory and migration.

Her poetry has been featured at the Hay Festival and at The British Library, where she was presented as a Latin American writer in the UK through WritersMosaic, a division of the Royal Literary Fund. She was awarded the Cosmo Davenport-Hines Poetry Prize and the Von Schlippenbach PGT Bursary, and has served as a judge for international translation awards, including the Valle Inclán Prize organised by the Society of Authors.
