About This Item

Paperback. Very good. Plume, 1996, 120 pages, a nice trade paperback, no underlining.

Synopsis

Long before her award winning novel, How the Garcia Girls Lost Their Accents , and In the Time of the Butterflies , Julia Alvarez was writing poetry that gave a distinctive voice to the Latina woman-and helped give to American letters a vibrant new literary form. Homecoming, was Alvarez's first published collection of poetry, a work of great subtlety and power in which the young poet returned to her old-world childhood in the Dominican Republic. Now this revised and expanded edition adds thirteen new poems. These more recent writings are still deeply autobiographical in nature, but written with the edgier, more knowing tone of a woman who has seen, and survived, more of life. Wonderfully lucid and engaging, toned with deep emotionality and a wry observation of life, the poems of Julia Alvarez stand next to her fiction to both delight us and give us lessons in living and loving.

About ISBNBKS

Hello: Greetings from Oregon. I am a long time on-line bookseller. I buy books in all subjects especially out of print editions. My personal interests are history, military history, American Civil war and western Americana in general. I make a real effort on my descriptions and customer service. Also, I do book searches. Eugene, Oregon if you haven't been here is a very good book town. Have a great day.
