Poesía reunida (2005-2016) ', an edition that includes exempt and unpublished poems.

From his collected poetry it has been said that "Lanseros reflects in the poems always an internal and reflective side where emotion and feeling come together to form a solid poetic body" (Jose Antonio Santano), or also: "The formal and verbal domain of his saying, the skilful map with which he traces his rhythmic discourse, the thematic diversity that fasten the territories of yesterday, the uncertain vagaries of life, the family protagonists that are no longer there, the fictions and realities that have drawn their daily identity, In addition, the fertile transparency that spills its undressed and pure language, make these pages a pleasant and suggestive compilation, full of love and life: "I know that I have sense because I live / and I know that there is no pain or impairment / that can immolate this fortune / to be in the present, to exist, / to feel the goldsmith of the moment (...) Before the pleasure of breathing I prostrate / There is no truth deeper than life »" (Jorge del Arco).

Among the important awards he has received are the Unicaja Poetry Prize, the Antonio Machado Prize in Baeza, the Prize of the Train or the Jaén Poetry Prize, as well as an Adonis Award second prize.

Nearly 200 critics from more than 100 universities (Harvard, Oxford, Columbia or Princeton, among them) have chosen her as the most relevant poet in the Spanish language born after 1970.
