This week, we spotlight a beautiful piece by student writer Cristian Meza, “A Trip To The Supermarket.” Meza’s deceptively simple poem transforms a boy’s grocery excursion into a haunting meditation on inequality, and how we might break the cycles of gain and loss that extend across generations.
Meza’s poem is accompanied by a visual adaptation, illustrating CTW’s mission to amplify student writing with the audiovisual capabilities of an online publication. Read the poem, and then watch the visual adaptation, here.
Once you’re inspired, don’t forget to submit your work for consideration to this year’s issue!
Happy reading, and happy writing,
The Editors
