I can step onstage and be a drag queen, Sophia Marshall writes, In a tight little dress that shows my cute little ass, the club would hire me right now. Marshall knows she is gorgeous enough to be a drag queen. She has the confidence to wear cute clothes, dress dangerously, and be a drag queen wherever she is. These poems show her expressing that confidence, and that nerve, the nerve to be a woman.
Sophia Marshall has been compared to E. E. Cummings, Gerard Manley Hopkins, Emily Dickinson, and Sappho. She has published 75 books, with over 60 books of poetry, two books of stories, two books of criticism (including a book of music criticism), two books of nonfiction, 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.
