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 ].
