"""Lifting Stones is a tender artistry...it is a singular collection of clarity, warmth, grief, humour, agony, mortality, recollection, despair, and rebirth. It is an expedition, not a journey's end. It is a unique work of life via poetry, a kaleidoscopic gallery of this poet's genuine experience laid bare."" -Mandi Greenwood, author of Six Steps Down, Caught Inside, and The Silver Renoir ""Doug Stanfield writes of love and grief and of a kaleidoscope of emotions in between. He is a deft and sensitive chronicler of the human condition and of the world we live in, crafting poetical images with great sensitivity and skill."" -Iffat Shah, physician and writer"
