AINARA MAYA URROZ

From Friday, 1 April 2022 to Friday, 8 April 2022

Bio

Although I am a philologist by trade, writing is my real passion. I like describing my feelings through poetry. In any language, but mainly in Basque. In my professional career, I have taught Basque language and literature at the University of Masarykova, Brno (Czech Republic), and worked as a translator in several companies. I got a degree in Basque Philology in 2002, and a Masters Degree in Language, Information and Communication in 2004; both at the University of the Basque Country. I completed a Postgraduate Writing Course at UNED (Open University) Bergara in 2006–2008.
I have taken part in the 2001–2021 editions of Hatsaren poesia collection, and have recently been appointed to coordinate and publish this yearly publication. We will present that book in 3th april or 10th april of 2022.
