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.

Some way

Through this big city—
The big apple

Evtida: It was a very sweet story, but it felt rushed. It didn't really convey the emotions. For example, when the girl was kidnapped, instead of panicking, going crazy, and causing a scene, giving in felt strange... His exaggerated relationship with his gay friend was also odd in my opinion.

Natasha Evermoor: This is really intriguing and emotionally intense. I like the way Joshua can truly change, or if Fleur is slowly getting pulled into something dangerous without realizing it. By the way, I love your book cover!
