She is a writer and a graphic designer currently living in Cazals (Le Lot, France). She is the author of eleven books of poetry, three of them prize-winning: the most recent are Caramelo culebra / Candy snake (La Bella Varsovia, 2019) and Hombres que cantan nanas al amanecer y comen cebolla / Men who sing lullabies at dawn and eat onions (La Bella Varsovia, 2016 – second edition).
