The New York Times Book Review has praised Alvarez’s fiction as powerful…beautifully captures the experience of the new immigrant’s doorway where a memory is not yet the past and the future is still a dream.

These same qualities characterize her poetry-from the Making Up the Past poems, which explore a life of exile as lived by a young girl, to The Joe Poems, a series of beautifully sensual and funny love poems that celebrate a middle-aged romance. The collection culminates in the poem of the title: the twenty-one-part epic about the poet’s return to her native Dominican Republic, and to the internal affirmation of the conflict and the last one that the trip caused. Innovation and bold invention, the interaction of sound, the senses, and the rhythm of two languages, all characterize Julia Alvarez’s art in transforming precious memory into unforgettable poetry

La revision del New York Times Book Review ha elogiado la ficcion de Alvarez como poderosa…captura maravillosamente la experiencia del umbral del nuevo inmigrante donde no esta todavia una memoria el pasado y el futuro sigue siendo un sueno.

Estas mismas calidades caracterizan su poesia-desde sus poemas en Making Up the Past, los cuales exploran una vida del exilio, segun vivido por una muchacha joven, hasta los poemas de The Joe Poems, una serie de poemas maravillosamente sensuales y divertidos acerca de la celebracion del amor a la mediana edad. La coleccion culmina en el poema del titulo: una epica coleccion de veintiun partes sobre el regreso de la poeta a su Republica Dominicana nativa y a la afirmacion interna del conflicto ocasionado por su ultimo viaje. La innovacion y la invencion, la interaccion del sonido, el sentido, y el ritmo de dos idiomas, todas caracterizan el arte de Julia Alvarez al transformar memoria preciosa en poesia inolvidable.
