12th Street

Writing & Democracy

"12th Street by the Riggio Honors Program of the New School is a striking package that draws you in at first glance, guides you through its marvels and keeps you close in its wonders. In these days of lamentations at “the death of the book” this is a journal that has considered the purpose of this most efficient piece of literary-delivery technology and declared “Printed Text Lives.” 12th Street’s front and back covers tell you what to expect with an artful arrangement of pull quotes; Venn diagrams of stories; wry comments on contents—all set as a beautiful and appealing piece of text art. Between the covers, the journal gets down to business, with fine use of typeface and ink, a helpful and helpfully laid out Table of Contents, individual works set on the page to enhance reading, and art that both stands on its own as well as comments on the literary material. Kudos also for the complementary, comprehensive, and exciting website accompanying the issue."
