Stardust Tracks is a classic literary offering, from a young writer with an old, traveling soul. Stardust Tracks on a Road is yet another creative offering, for family, friends and community, from Ms. DuEwa M. Frazier. Three years after the release of her first inspirational volume of poetry, Shedding Light From My Journeys, her latest collection speaks to still, more life journeys. Some poems pay homage to Ntozake Shange, Katherine Dunham, Sonia Sanchez and Zora Neale Hurston, other poems cry out: to our youth, cry out for rebirth in hip hop, cry out for love, to recognize the soul origins of rock and roll, to reflect upon the artistic greats of Harlem, to give women a taste of empowerment, and to reflect upon what makes women FIERCE! These poems are for student folk, every day folk, scholarly folk, activist folk, educator folk, artistic dancing, poetizing, painting, singing, and dramatist folk. These poems are for the child in you, the lover in you, the funk and hip hop music in you, the strength and the weakness in you. These poems will inspire, motivate, make you reflect and make you smile. Giving readers a taste of her jazz-blues-soul poetry style, DuEwa writes in free verse and haiku. The setting of Stardust Tracks is anywhere. The wise and deliberate tone of DuEwa, is sure to take you everywhere as you experience her spoken word in its powerful written form.

5.0 out of 5 stars
Unique coming of age story,
By Nicole (Brooklyn, NY) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Dana Dances On Paper (Paperback)
Dana is a unique coming of age story, because it is written uniquely. Dana speaks to your soul, because she comes from her soul. Dana expresses what is on her mind in every stage of her life. Dana helps to break the stereotype that you become a victim if you grow up in the projects. Dana is like her last name strong. Read this book if you want a different perspective and to experience a new and creative writing formal from all other books and coming of age stories.

Dana Dances on Paper,
By Nyson Jafari (New York, New York United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Dana Dances On Paper (Paperback)
I enjoyed reading this novel. There is so much wisdom, humor, insight and growth in this coming of age story. At times I became nostalgic and I was able to identify with Dana's struggle. Dana Dances on Paper is a must read. I look forward to Darcel Turner's next novel!

4.0 out of 5 stars
Remembering the Bronx,
By Lynelle Rennis (New York, NY) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Dana Dances On Paper (Paperback)
This novel took me back to my childhood and teenage years. It reminded me of all we went through to get here and the dreams we had as children. I could relate to many aspects of her story and knew that with determination and perserverance you can make something of yourself. That everyone makes mistakes, but that doesn't necessarily have to stop you from being successful. I plan to incorporate chapters from this novel in some of my classes. Darcel Turner you have done a good job of telling the story of a lil bronx gurls dreams and struggles.
