POETS ON ADOPTION--JULY UPDATE

POETS ON ADOPTION ANNOUNCEMENT

Dear All,
I've managed to update POETS ON ADOPTION four times to present the thoughts and poetry of

Carrie Etter June 2011
(was adopted at two weeks old; at age 17, gave up son for adoption)

Martha King June 2011
(grandmother to two children adopted domestically in the U.S.)

Elaine Randell July 2011
(as a psychotherapist and social worker, has worked with families and/or placed children in adoption)

kim thompson June 2011
(was adopted as a baby from Korea by U.S.-American parents)

You are invited to visit the site which, to date, presents nearly 50 poets representing a variety of adoption experiences. I'm also pleased to share that the site is being used in a poetry workshop this summer.

As well, please spread the word: we are always looking for new poets who wish to share their experiences; the call for participation is at http://poetsonadoption.blogspot.com/2011/03/call-for-participation.html

Best,
Eileen Tabios
Curator, Poets on Adoption
