María Musgo

María Musgo is a poet who recently made headlines after her poetry award from the Universidad Estatal a Distancia was revoked due to allegations of plagiarism. Her poem, which won the award in September 2024, was found to share significant similarities with a work by Uruguayan writer Josefina G. Paz, prompting a review and subsequent return of the prize money. In response to the controversy, Musgo publicly acknowledged her error and expressed regret for betraying the trust of her readers.
