From the moment we wake up until we fall asleep
there are a thousand sounds around us the whole day.
composing music along the way.
they dance with you and me.
Even when we sleep...
Clean, finely tune, open your ears
whispering every moment
listen to the soundtrack of your day!
In 2006, Leire Bilbao made the leap into the literary world with her first book of poems, Ezkatak (Scales). Then came Scanner (Susa, 2011), the bilingual book of poems Entre escamas (Between Scales) and Etxeko urak (Home Waters, Susa, 2020).
Her numerous poems have been published in different anthologies and translated into a dozen languages. Several musicians have also transformed them into songs. These include three records with her lyrics: Musua (The Kiss, Katxiporreta, 2018), Bizi dantza (Dance Life, Katxiporreta, 2019) and Txitxarroa eta atuna (The Mackerel and the Tuna, Maramara, 2023).
As for children’s and young adult literature, she has published more than twenty works, many of which have received awards. To cite some of them, she won the 2017 Euskadi Prize for Children’s and Young Adult Literature and the 2019 Kirico Prize for the book of poems Xomorropoemak eta beste piztia batzuk (Bugpoems and Some Other Wild Beasts), and the 2022 Euskadi Prize for Children’s and Young Adult Literature for the work Barruko hotsak (Inner Voices).
