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. ----/ Venue Info /------------------------------------------------------ Pegasus Books Downtown 2349 Shattuck Ave. Berkeley 510.649.1320 Shattuck Ave. @ Durant.
