The anthology was organized around the use of compelling essays, fiction poetry, and art to explore the intimate form of globalization, transracial adoption. It was an unmediated voice of adults who had matured within the experience, presenting a view adoption as an institution that pulls apart old families and identities and grafts new ones.
This year, the Korean language edition will be released by KoRoot Publishing. It's hard to believe it's been over half a decade since it was first published, and I'm interested in seeing how it's received abroad. Many of the contributors have since gone in some fascinating directions.
KoRoot is most well-known as a guesthouse for adopteesreturning to Korea.Recently, KoRoot has started publishing books as part of its activismseeking social justice for adoptees and vulnerable families,especially "unwed mother" families in Korea, whose children areespecially at risk of family separation. Outsiders Within was chosenas the first book for the press.http://www.koroot.org
Other books that KoRoot will publish include Adoption Healing forMothers by Joe Soll and The Primal Wound by Nancy Verrier.
A big congratulations to the editors, because I know it was no small feat translating so many diverse voices into Korean. Here was a reading of Evolve that I gave at the American release party on November 18th, 2006 in Minneapolis.
As a note, "Evolve" has not been included in any of my other collections to date.
