Xabier Lete. 60 Poems  has recently been published, a bilingual Basque-English anthology bringing together sixty poems by Xabier Lete and making his poetry available to a wider international, English-speaking readership.

IdeoLit members Lurdes Otaegi and Alex Gurrutxaga selected the poems and authored the critical study accompanying the volume. The English translations are by Kristin Addis, while the foreword is by Kirmen Uribe.

Published in the United States by Sundial House, the anthology represents an important step in the international dissemination of Xabier Lete’s work and, more broadly, of Basque literature.

The volume was presented in Donostia-San Sebastián on 30 September and will have its international presentation at Columbia University in New York on 12 November 2026.

Alex Gurrutxaga IdeoLit Ikerketa Taldeko lankidea eta UPV / EHUko Hezkuntza eta Kirol Fakultateko irakaslea zoriondu nahi dugu, Lorea Jainagarekin batera Amorebieta-Etxanoko Udalak bi urtean behin antolatzen duen Santi Onaindia beka lortu baitu.

Lourdes Iriondoren literatura arloko ekarpena aztertuko dute. Haren kantuko ‘ez gaude konforme’ erabilita, argi utzi nahi dute ez daudela konforme erreferente hori hain ezezagun izatearekin, eta haren alderdi literarioa aldarrikatzeko gogoa erakutsi dute. Hori izango da bildumako hurrengo lana.
