"In addition to Guillermo Valencia's conservative and religious political role, nowadays his is still known as the coldest and most relevant Parnassian poet of Latin American modernism. This is the main reason for the revisionist aim of this article, which deals with the modernist end of century themata (i.e., homosexuality, incest, misogyny, and the femme fatale icon, among others) in Valencia's original poetry published in Ritos. With the term poe-etica, it also stresses the influence of Edgar Allan Poe's romantic ethics and aesthetics in the artistic thought of popayanian lyric. Conceived through Roman Jakobson's model for the poetic function, this poe-etica equalizes the poet with the non-religious mystic or priest, whose mission is to bind the most extreme opposites. The Colombian poet usurps mystical language which- far from translating the mystical experience- makes every effort to communicate such coincidental oppositorum as can be represented in the sacred/profane duality. This is why the lyrical ego could become a queer priest in relation to a dead friend, in accordance with the gay reading of several images in Ritos. On the other hand, there are poems which also allow a feminist reading by reason of the patent misogyny present in the lyrical voice." García Márquez is discussed in relation to the topic.
Gómez reviews of Por la libre: Obra periodística, v.4, 1974-1995, disclosing that Gabriel García Márquez focuses completely on the most important theme of that time: national and international politics during the 1970s, although the book includes work from the 80s and 90s. Most articles in Por la Libre, are dedicated to leftist political activity during these years in Colombia, Latin America, Europe, and Africa. All of Gabriel García Márquez's articles are written with his usual documentary objectivity in terms of the facts, although his comments and point of view correspond to his personal appreciation. Por la Libre can only have the validity that each of its articles, chronicles, surveys, and interiews had in the past, especially as a compilation. Few like Gabriel García Márquez could offer the mastery that has made him famous world wide, whether it is with his journalistic work or his works of fiction.
"This paper looks at some problems deriving from Neruda’s relationship with books and literary culture. It lays open the anti-literary positions that the poet announces in different texts and tries to sketch a conciliation of these positions with the love of books that Neruda not only declared but also exercised in his zeal as collector and in his readings. At the same time some of his ideas about poetry and the obligations of the poet are examined." Briefly names García Márquez in a list of poets and writers.
Two of García Márquez's novels, Love in the Time of Cholera and One Hundred Years of Solitude, are part of the Contemporary Literature Big Read from the BBC.
