High Line Scavenger Hunt

In High Line Scavenger Hunt, Lucas Crawford delves into the history of the High Line, an elevated train track that edges the border of lower Manhattan. The adjacent neighborhood was known for its early transsexual community, for AIDS activism, kink and leather clubs, for the queer youth who used its piers and runways for vogue competitions. These poems braid transgender history, autobiographical reflection, and architectural speculation into a commentary on the histories now lost to gentrification.
