"DuEwa Frazier offers more than glossy words. The strength and beauty
of all women--resonates like a Coltrane solo in her meditations. The precious metal of her poetry has arrived."

In Goddess Under the Bridge, DuEwa Frazier unapologetically embraces the inherent strength that lies within the feminine. "I change my colors depending on/ Who I have to fight next." These poems move from interior to exterior, exploring our relationship with the self, each other and the gods we belong to. Like the emotional landscape, the speakers are often in transit: shifting from Mississippi to New York and even St. Louis salsa clubs."
