In Spanish we have a phrase whenever we welcome a visitor to our house,
Mi casa, su casa.
My house, your house.
My hope is that you find my website an inviting and (user) friendly place to learn more about my books, readings, events, and a little about me, the writer.
So bienvenidos, welcome to my website, your website.
Gracias and thank you for your visit.
Told with a storyteller’s intimacy and the comfort of a warm hearth, here is a master writer’s reflection on family, aging, love, the body, having a voice, and the very act of poetry itself, experienced across the arc of decades—a collection of searching for an artistic voice, for the author’s very essence, until “the way it sometimes happens: we arrive / where we were promised, belong to / what we longed for in ourselves, each other.”
“Julia Alvarez, you are first and foremost a poet, never more so than with Visitations. It is your own open-hearted letter to your past and future selves. I am forever your fan.” —Sandra Cisneros, author of Woman Without Shame
A wonderfully inventive novel about telling stories and what happens to the stories we leave untold, from the beloved and bestselling author of In the Time of the Butterflies and How the García Girls Lost Their Accents.
"Warm and graceful... a riveting story... an imaginative celebration of living, oral traditions, and our capacity even outside the gates of publishing, to bring our stories of the past into the future."―Anita Felicelli, Los Angeles Times Book Review
