Burning Bones

This title is the second part of Miren Agur Meabe’s triptych. In 2020 she published her fifth poetry collection, Nola gorde errautsa kolkoan (Holding Ashes Close to the Heart) – which in the final part of the triptych. It won the 2021 Spanish National Poetry Award. Burning Bones takes us through the universe of the character at the heart of A Glass Eye, a fictional version of Meabe: her childhood, teenage years and adulthood, the experiences that marked her. Whereas A Glass Eye is a novel, Burning Bones is a collection of brief narratives. These two pieces are complemented by a third one that Miren Agur Meabe published in 2020 to complete what she considers a triptych, a poetry collection called Nola Gorde Errautsa Kolkoan [Holding Ashes in the Heart]. In this triptych, the author experiments with the possibilities of form and genre, inviting readers into an imperfect woman’s journey into artisthood. -- Publisher: Parthian Books
