“A generous and prismatic anthology of short stories and poems. . . As promised, the phantoms of mystery mothers, fathers, children, grandparents, and grandchildren do shimmer between the lines of many short stories and poems, the ghosts of could-have-been, the spirits of what-if. . . A vital and unforgettable reading experience for everyone, whether he or she is part of the adoption plexus of not.”
-Donna Seaman, Hungry Mind Review

“Echoes Upon Echoes is evidence that, once again, the news of the demise of the English language is highly exaggerated; it is alive and well—albeit in the midst of fierce transformation and vibrant renewal—in these fine stories and poems by a new generation of Korean American writers. Editors Elaine Kim and Laura Kang should be commended for assembling such an impressive array of unexpectedly diverse and original writings. This anthology once and for all puts to rest the myth that Korean America is a singular experience.”
—Robert Ji-Song Ku, Professor of English and Asian American Studies, City University of New York, Hunter College

From School Library Journal
Grade 9 Up-This collection of poems, stories, and essays is published in association with Asian Women United of California, an organization that strives to create materials that “explore the many facets of Asian-American women’s experiences and varied cultural heritages.” Here that mission is accomplished through voices that reflect a wide array of life experiences and cultures… Overall, the book stands as a testament to love, intelligence, perseverance, and strength, as revealed to the authors by those closest to them. A good choice for students with Asian and non-Asian backgrounds alike, it contains a little something for everyone.
