Julia Alvarez

Homecoming

Call Number: Grove PS3551.L854 H6 1984

ISBN: 9780394538556

Publication Date: 1984-06-01

Long before her award winning novel, How the Garcia Girls Lost Their Accents, and In the Time of the Butterflies, 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. 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.

Joyce Carol Oates

Beautiful Days

Call Number: PS3565.A8 A6 2018

ISBN: 9780062795786

Publication Date: 2018-02-06

A new collection of thirteen mesmerizing stories by American master Joyce Carol Oates, including the 2017 Pushcart Prize-winning "Undocumented Alien" The diverse stories of Beautiful Days, Joyce Carol Oates explore the most secret, intimate, and unacknowledged interior lives of characters not unlike ourselves, who assert their independence in acts of bold and often irrevocable defiance.

Stephen Dunn

Whereas

Call Number: PS3554.U49 A6 2016

ISBN: 9780393254679

Publication Date: 2017-02-21

Incisively capturing the oddities of our logic and the whimsies of our reason, the poems in Whereas show there is always another side to a story. With graceful rhythm and equal parts humor and seriousness, Stephen Dunn considers the superstition and sophistry embedded in everyday life: household objects that seem to turn against us, the search for meaning in the barrage of daily news, the surprising confessions between neighbors across a row of hedges. 

Stephen Crane

The bride comes to Yellow Sky

Call Number: PN6120.A51 C76 1970

ISBN: 978877724886
