“To read Dessie Bey’s poetry is a journey into eloquence of her images and words. Similar to the music of Billie Holiday and Duke Ellington: to hear Dessie read her poetry is to hear the wonderful voice of a Phyllis Hyman and a Marvin Gaye. To read and to hear Dessie Bey—I have experienced poetry that has the substance of greatness and the poetics of great black music. The human heart pumps more fully and happier with Dessie Bey in our world of art.”
Rob Penny, Playwright, Poet 1999

“The poetic voice of Dessie Bey is a refreshing journey of her life experiences woven in the form of family love and political rhetoric. The territory is familiar ground to us all.”
Kim El Poet, Playwright

“The truth doesn’t hurt so bad when it’s told poetically; by the same token, my heart has never felt such love.”
Biko, Artist
