She delivered numerous lectures and took part of numerous international festivals of poetry (Festival de Poesía de Medellín,[27] Colombia, 2007; Encuentro de Poetas del Mundo Latino,[28] [29] Mexico, 2010). Many of their poems have been translated in the United States, in France, in Italy, in Germany, in Morocco, in Brazil, in Slovakia and in Greece.

She co-directed and presented along with Mariano Peyrou for 5 years A ras de verso (radio broadcast of the Radio Círculo, belonging to the of Madrid), a poetry programme in which they interview a Spanish or Latino American poet based on his texts. She belongs to the council and work as editor and poetry specialist in the creative writings centre Hotel Kafka.[30] Since 2008 she is coordinator at the Foundation of the Poetry Centre José Hierro.[31]

In 2011, she takes part, along with nine other Spanish poets (Jordi Doce, Rafael Reig, Fernando Aramburu, Francisco Javier Irazoki, Santiago Auserón, Pilar Adón, Javier Azpeitia, Marta Agudo and Vicente Molina Foix) to a tribute to Raymond Queneau on the occasion of the fifty years anniversary of his cult book Hundred Thousand Billion Poems[32] publication, by creating a Spanish version called Cien mil millones de poemas,[33] but with a sonnet they composed themselves taking a leaf out of one of the Queneau's sonnet of their choice. The edition has been made in such a way that each line is disposed on a strap that can be put up so to see the line of the next poem, making thus easier to compose each one of the hundred thousand billion poems.
