KEPA MURUA (1962). Author of an unusual dignity by his imposed modesty and the scruple with he writes, his work is one of the greatest poetic’s adventures of present.

His poetry stands out for the brilliant combination of intimate reflections from a world of complex feelings and the expression of a poet committed to his environment.In 1996 he set up the publishing house Bassarai, an independent literary project wich in recent years has surprised readers and specialised critics alike with its quality and originality, and in 2000 he created the enzine Luke (www.espacioluke.com), a space for intercultural communication through art and literature.
