Now this revised and expanded edition adds thirteen new poems. \u003c\/b\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eLong before her award winning novel, \u003ci\u003eHow the Garcia Girls Lost Their Accents\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eIn the Time of the Butterflies\u003c\/i\u003e, 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. 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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Julia Alvarez\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Plume Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/01\/1996\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 128\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.24lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.97h x 5.29w x 0.38d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780452275676\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 03\/18\/1996 pg. 67\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 04\/01\/1996 pg. 84\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eJulia Alvarez \u003c\/b\u003eis the author of the novels \u003ci\u003eHow the García Girls Lost Their Accents, In the Time of the Butterflies\u003c\/i\u003e (a national Book Critics Circle Award finalist), and \u003ci\u003eYo!\u003c\/i\u003e.
