About This Poem In “Big City,” TheOfficialDovey offers a brief yet powerful meditation on growing up in New York City. Using repetition and minimalist language, the poem mirrors the rhythms of daily life—walking, riding, striving—within an urban landscape that never slows down. Blending poetic structure with street-level realism, Dovey captures the quiet determination of navigating city life as a young artist. The piece draws inspiration from the legacy of Langston Hughes while speaking in the voice of a modern-day New Yorker coming of age through motion, grit, and dreams.

We walk—
This big city
We drive cars
Take the transit
Round and round
This big city
Somehow
We gotta get around
This big city
Some way
We’ll find our way
Through this big city—
The big apple

Danielle: I loved this book. You could feel the chemistry with Charlie and Isaiah. The extra spice scene at the end was the chef’s kiss. The ending was exactly what I wanted. Great writing

Anna Valens: The story is so amazingly made and it tugs at my heartstrings in all the right ways!! Harper and Ethan are the cutest couple and their parallels and similarities really tie them together, the whole story reminds me of a song called "The Cure" by Olivia Rodrigo if the song ended on a happy note.
