In 2007 she was awarded the National Poetry Prize for her verse collection "Y todos estábamos vivos" (And we were all alive".

A frequent collaborator with the Revista de Occidente and Ínsula, among others, she is also co-director of the poetry review Los Infolios, and is a member of the editorial board for El signo de gorrión, which she co-founded.

One book, Caza nocturna (1997), comprises the second stage, and the third includes her two most recent: Del ojo al hueso (2001) and Y todos estábamos vivos (2006), two books marked by a profound awareness of death.

Her style is characterized by juxtapositions of fractured verbal asceticism with the sustained lyrical line, quotidian commentary and existential reflections.
