they go.

ABOUT OPEN CITY BOOKS
www.opencity.org.com
Open City Magazine & Books are published by Open City, Inc., a
nonprofit corporation based in New York City. The editors, Thomas
Beller and Joanna Yas, strive to keep the literary journal vital for
each new generation by publishing a dynamic array of poetry and prose
with a daring, youthful, spirit. The editors aim to add a voice to
the culture that values wit, depth, and ingenuity, and, in
particular, the exposing and elucidating of the human predicament
which is often devalued by commercial publishers. Many writers
featured in Open City's pages are being published for the very first
time. In this brilliantly original story collection, Rachel Sherman
evokes the wonders and horrors of a young woman's life, from girl to
teenager to adult, through crushes, sex, family, and the agonies and
ecstasies of finding one's way. The First Hurt heralds the arrival of
a singularly fresh and remarkably assured new voice.
