48th Street Girl

By Sophia Marshall

This a book of a city girl, with all the excitement and love and attraction and disgust she experiences because of all she encounters that is new and dirty and strange. 48th Street is one of hundreds of numbered streets in any city. Marshall uses it as a synecdoche for all that is beautiful and repellent in a woman and a city.

She has published fifty poetry books, two books of stories, two books of criticism, and a novella. She is a credentialed journalist and music critic as well as a poet, with credits in many journals and magazines. She is a transgender woman. She lives in Boston.
