Urban Shadows – Jim Brantingham

Hour by hour the girders play as ribs and reach out and hold together the stone walls and floors. – “Skyscraper,” Carl Sandburg Shadows slide along streets and alleys, Slink slowly up old brick buildings. Each inch traveled along the walks Matches the vertical rise of concrete, Of steel and tall sheets of glass. Sandburg’s skyscraper has soul: The soul of dreams and hopes Poured into each cubic yard of concrete, Fastened into each steel beam. But these are squat soulless slabs That scarcely scrape the sky Yet still leave long black traces Where sunlight once brightened the leaves Lining […]

Women Against Street Harassment: Moving Through Fear with Jordan Giarratano
January 27th, 2015
Three months ago, I was tasked with writing a special edition of Women Against Street Harassment, one that spoke specifically to men. I’d been spending more time than I wanted to fielding rape threats and nasty remarks from men who weren’t happy with the column’s past iterations, and I could feel myself entering a bitter, polemical space. I was determined to make the men’s issue happen, I just didn’t know where to begin.
