Akiwenzie-Damm is an absolutely beautiful writer and there is so much raw emotion caught between these pages. I also loved how the characters subtly showed up in different stories - it really emphasized that they were part of a shared community.
My favorite stories in the collection were: "The Blackbird Cage", "Mashkii-akii", and "the day I learned to fly".
