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.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Penguin Publishing Group","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47009048166640,"sku":"9780452275676","price":18.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780452275676_p0.jpg?v=1763705781","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780452275676","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
