It is an affirmation for adoptees or anyone who has had their ancestry taken away - and for those who were able to regain it. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eUsing evocative language and powerful emotion, Jill Uchiyama's poems expose the creative interior of an adopted girl, from infancy to middle age. Through them, we discover the rare and often unknown thoughts, dreams, and imagination of the adoptee forced to adapt to a new family and leave the old one behind. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIn this intimate collection of poems, the hidden psychological and spiritual effects of wondering where one belongs in the world are brought to life, challenging an old culture of portraying adopted children as happy and fortunate. The poems share many facets of life in a closed adoption including DNA testing, discovering new family members, and poignant memories of the parents that raised her as their own. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eTransparent and candid, \u003ci\u003eOut of the Fog \u003c\/i\u003eliberates depth of feeling common to everyone with an imperfect family life who thrives, regardless.\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 74\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.18 x 8.5 x 5.5 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e November 14, 2022\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42123435081863,"sku":"9798362957469","price":20.25,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0601\/2623\/2711\/files\/d8d98c6b5f7d68b2262dcb11b0c108c2.webp?v=1732566553","url":"https:\/\/booksby.splitshops.com\/products\/out-of-the-fog-poems-of-nature-nurture-and-imagination-paperback","provider":"Books by splitShops","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
