The book Tres poetas colombianos contemporáneos: Gustavo Quesada, Julio D. Chaparro, Raúl Gómez - Poesía colombiana contemporánea: tres miradas libertarias. Wisdom, mystery, truth, sets out to recover the literary work of figures who, in their order, are: professor, historian and master in philosophy; journalist, man/tree and celebrant of Nature; actor, playwright and poet, all libertarians, owl-poets and not swan-poets, all three, in their own way, fighters for a better country, Colombia, for everyone and not just for themselves. A critical reflection on Quesada's collections of poems. Sucede el mundo and Cada uno lleva su cuerpo; of Chaparro, a critical study of five collections of his poems collected in De nuevo soy agosto y otros poemas (El Zahir, 2012); of Gómez, a dialogical look at his life/work based on the book/tribute Raúl Gómez Jattin - Entrevistas, evocaciones & 7 poemas inéditos (Letra a Letra, 2018). Of the three of them it can be said that they are, although only Quesada is alive, libertarian beings in a world inhabited by wisdom/mystery and truth, always moving and acting within the turbulent waters of national socio/political realism.
