Review(s)

Generous, funny and dark, The Stone Collection doesn’t pull its emotional punches but it leavens its grim truths with bright humour and earthy lust. Akiwenzie-Damm’s writing shape- shifts and mesmerizes in short stories that tell us no matter how hard the journey, love can heal us all.

– Eden Robinson, Author, Monkey Beach

The Stone Collection is a stunning house of story moving intimately through the harshness and graceful moments of Indigenous lives with humility and beauty. You will come out the other side of this book with a fuller heart.

– Leanne Betasamosake Simpson, Author, Islands of Decolonial Love

A dreamblur of raw desire, heartbreak and heartache… The Stone Collection is literary and soul perfection. Mahsi cho for sharing these stories!!
