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.Homecoming\u003cb\u003eHomecoming\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eHousekeeping\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHow I Learned to Sweep\u003cbr\u003eDusting\u003cbr\u003eHousehold Riddle\u003cbr\u003eMaking Our Beds\u003cbr\u003eThe Master Bed\u003cbr\u003eWashing the Windows\u003cbr\u003eStorm Windows\u003cbr\u003eHairwashing\u003cbr\u003eHanging the Wash\u003cbr\u003eFolding My Clothes\u003cbr\u003eIroning Their Clothes\u003cbr\u003eRolling Dough\u003cbr\u003eWhat Could It Be?\u003cbr\u003ePosture Lesson\u003cbr\u003eNew Clothes\u003cbr\u003eNaming the Fabrics\u003cbr\u003eOrchids\u003cbr\u003eCharges\u003cbr\u003eMother Love\u003cbr\u003eWoman's Work\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eHeroines\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHeroines\u003cbr\u003eWoman Friend\u003cbr\u003eWallpaper\u003cbr\u003eAgainst Cinderella\u003cbr\u003eOld Heroines\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e33\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eRedwing Sonnets\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eLast Night at Tía's\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAfterword: Coming Home to \u003ci\u003eHomecoming\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003ePraise for \u003ci\u003eEn el tiempo de las mariposas\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003e \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e “Un libro importante… emocionalmente sobrecogedor.
