{"product_id":"9780452275676","title":"Homecoming","description":"\u003cb\u003eHomecoming is 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. \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\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.","brand":"Alvarez, Julia","offers":[{"title":"Paperback \/ softback B102","offer_id":68263433011412,"sku":"9780452275676","price":37.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1000\/9208\/files\/BNCImageAPI_548dcef2-12fb-4a15-9f86-4447e796134e.jpg?v=1793641352","url":"https:\/\/penguinshop.ca\/products\/9780452275676","provider":"Penguin Shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
