I Am A New York City

Here is a confession of youth and everything that comes with the realization of being stuck between a corporate war and a vanishing planet, the battle of precedent failures and impending ideas, the struggle for experience and keeping a dream in focus, and the decision of trying to mature, while fighting any kind of change. The debut collection of poetry from Colton Lorenz, I Am A New York City, depicts the complex situation of simply growing up. Lorenz's simple style of free verse illustrates the idea that there are so many mixed experiences, courageous ideas, rotating personalities, and complex influences to one individual that, in essence, we all are our own New York City.
