Poetic words seek the union and reconciliation between humanity and nature. Poetic words aspire to build a livable home between the Sky and the Earth. Perhaps this union can only occur in a poetic space (Blanchot), that is, in the ´inner space of the world´ (Rilke) or, in other words, in the intimacy of Sky and Earth.
Poetry is his main field: Fitola Balba, Karpuki tui (2004); Jainkoa harrapatzeko tranpa (2007); Zentauro-hankak (2012); Argia, lurra, zuhaitza, zerua (2015); Urtaroak eta zeinuak (2019); Natura berriak (2020); Zeru-lurren liburua (2023). He has won several poetry awards, including the National Critics´ Prize (twice), the Lauaxeta Prize (twice), the Xabier Lete Prize, and the Irun City Prize. His latest poetry book (Zeru-lurren liburua) won the 2024 Euskadi Prize.
He was a playwright for the F.T.I.-Antzerkiola Imaginarioa theater group. He has also written several plays for other theater companies, either individually or in groups: 8 Olivetti poetiko (1999); Mundopolski, erreboltaren ziaboga (2002); Yuri Sam. Otoitza (2003); Au revoir, triunfadoreak! (2005); Babiloniako loreak (2009); Etxekoak (2015); or Dama (2021), among others.
