Caitlin Mae Thomson

i’ll go to new york

see the sprawling city of spires

i’ll smoke a red-tipped cigarette outside tiffany’s

twist it underfoot

and mooch on over to manhattan

i’ll loiter outside carnegie hall, straining to hear

billie on the breeze

before heading to harlem

where sonny rollins and i jam out

on our knees

 

then i’ll go west

road-tripping with sal paradise

i’ll find myself in some dive bar

order a whiskey on the rocks

marilyn crooning on the jukebox

i’ll spin on my little red stool

wink at bukowski

and blow kisses across the room

i’ll stroll downtown

through action, cut, scene,

to drink a cola with james dean

 

i’m all american now,

chasing a dream

and breathing in

hot disillusionment

in dry desert land

Editors for all american not yet setup.

Resonance, Volume 1:

Resonance is the first collection of creative writing digitally published by Ta Voix, and will hopefully be the first of many. Everything within these digital bindings has been lovingly created by young writers, and meticulously edited and produced by young publishers. We are not yet professionals, but we deserve the chance to be.

Not only will this collection of poetry and prose resonate with you, but the anthology will be resounding. We loudly, and clearly proclaim that the literary industry needs to diversify, it needs transparency, and it needs change.

Trigger warnings: mentions of blood, physical violence and self-harm are present on some pages. Please read at your discretion.
