Alvaro Emilson Bautista was born in the city of Ibagué (Tol) in 1973 studied at the faculty of Political and Administrative  Sciences at the Escuela Superior de Administración Pública – ESAP; graduated as a public administrator in 1999, he has an unedited book of poetry ( in Spanish) in which he tries to interpret the feelings and reality of his country.  Currently registered at FLET University in the Masters in Education Program; has been a languages teacher for over 14 years.This last work, is an effort to give the English speaking people a deeper view of what the conflict  in Colombia is really  like, from the perspective of an average Colombian citizen who has lived the development of the conflict in his native land. I hope this book is of great help for readers to understand the conflict from a different perspective.
