Iñigo Astiz (Iruñea, 1985) is a Basque journalist and poet. He has published several poetry books, including Baita hondakinak ere (The Remains Too) and Analfabetoa (The Illiterate), as well as one children’s´ poetry book titled Joemak eta polasak (Pames and goems), illustrated by Maite Mutuberria, which was awarded the Basque national literary prize.
