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":"Plume","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43381098053887,"sku":"9780452275676","price":27.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0452\/0886\/2873\/files\/9780452275676_s600x595.jpg?v=1777307531","url":"https:\/\/massivebookshop.com\/products\/9780452275676","provider":"MASSIVE BOOKSHOP","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
