"As the child of a Korean adoptee in France, I would like to question the trans-generational impacts of international adoption through the lens of transmission. Materializing the export of children by Korean adoption agencies to western countries, the map plays with the idea of Korean adoptee diaspora as extended family or ancestry".

for Omma Outside your lit window, I stand ten thousand miles away. Our distance shifts whenever you pass from room to room, whenever I pause from reading Kim So Wol’s poetry.

I'm pleased to share that "Afterlives: An AGNI Portfolio of Asian Adoptee Diaspora Writing" curated by Jennifer Kwon Dobbs and Lee Herrick has gone live on Agni magazine, a publication I've followed for well over 30 years which was a part of my earliest days as an emerging poet in Ohio and Michigan.

I'm honored to have a new piece of mine in this portfolio, and I have enjoyed the works of the many other Asian adoptees whose work is included in this selection.
