DECONSTRUCTING THE HIGH LINE Postindustrial Urbanism and the Rise of the Elevated Park Edited by Christoph Lindner and Brian Rosa The High Line, an innovative promenade created on a disused elevated railway in Manhattan, is a new “hot” iconic landmark, but is it a model of urban revitalization or a bellwether of gentrification? A diverse group, including planners and architects directly involved in its design, assess it critically, exploring its aesthetic, economic, ecological, symbolic, and social impacts.232 pp • 28 photos • 978-0-8135-7645-9 • paper • $28.95S $20.27

KILLING POETRYBlackness and the Making of Slam and Spoken Word CommunitiesJavon Johnson“Johnson’s Killing Poetry provides a rich opportunity for us to explore a world of competitive art-making hidden to most. Killing Poetry’s dynamic attention to the specific racial, gendered, sexual, and geographic valences in the spoken word community, means that it is unrelenting in its practice of ‘deep listening’ and complex thinking. Javon Johnson transfers his truly gifted eye as a spoken word and creative artist, to the critical work of studying performance and its other attendants.”—Jeffrey Q. McCune, Jr., author of Sexual Discretion: Black
