Excerpt: 1 Wall Street Entrance to 1 Wall Street 1 Wall Street , originally the Irving Trust Company Building , then the Bank of New York Building (after 1988), and now the BNY Mellon Building (after 2007), was variously a bank headquarters building and remains one of the finest Art-Deco -style skyscrapers in Manhattan ‘s financial district. It is located in the Financial District of Manhattan and is on the prominent corner of Wall Street and Broadway . History The was site previously occupied by the eighteen-story Manhattan Life Insurance Building (1893-4), which was the title-holder as the tallest building in the world from 1894 until 1899. Architect Ralph Walker conceived his zig-zag Art Deco skyscraper for the Irving Trust Company as a “curtain wall”, not the typical sheet of glass hanging from a steel cage, but a limestone wall rippling like a curtain descending on a Broadway stage. Because of the curves in the wall, the bank does not completely occupy its full building lot, and by law unoccupied and unmarked land reverts to the public. The building was opened in 1932 but completed in 1931 to the designs of the architectural firm of Voorhees, Gmelin |

Bending the Mind Around the Dream’s Blown Fuse $10.95 Poetry. Asian American Studies. “Timothy Liu is too often reduced to being a poet of sexual audacity. He is audacious, but perhaps in his baroque architecture, his fluency, his intricacy, and his unwillingness to reduce himself by dogma or theory or design. I love his growing, growling work, and his violent soft hints about the whole body politic in progressive zooms. But the permanent, complicated delight is Liu’s poetry itself: uncontrollable melancholy and music”–David Shapiro. Timothy Liu is the other of seven other books of poetry, most recently POLYTHEOGAMY, also available from SPD. His poems have been translated into nine languages, and his papers and journals are archived in the Berg Collection at the New York Public Library. He lives in Manhattan. |

Etched in Stone $30 This poignant, first-of-its-kind book celebrates words that define America’s storied past and symbolize the drive of its people–from the boardrooms of Manhattan to the farm fields of Iowa. Author Ryan Coonerty highlights profound phrases inscribed on 52 monuments and public sites. Some are famed monuments like the Lincoln Memorial; others are simple or stark places of honor, such as Angel Island, where immigrant Chinese scrawled their words on imprisoning walls. Etched In Stone unfolds the American saga from four perspectives. In Praise of Public Lives (Jefferson Memorial, Martin Luther King gravesite) celebrates leaders, thinkers, and innovators. Ordinary Heroes (Gettysburg Battlefield, Korean War Memorial, Memphis Firehouse) honors ordinary people who did extraordinary things. Bearing Witness (Salem Witchcraft Victims Memorial, Clayton Jackson McGhie Museum in Duluth) seeks to remind future generations of horrendous moments in history that must not be repeated, while A More Perfect Union (IBM School House, Dexter Gate at Harvard University, New York Public Library) reveals the promises of America–freedom and future. Stunning images by noted architectural photographer Carol Highsmith enhance the powerful messages and give each site a life and purpose beyond stone. The dramatic interplay of words and photographs makes this a beautiful gift book that will strongly appeal to all readers interested in American history, architecture, culture, and art. |
