In The Writing of Where, Charles Lesh examines how graffiti writers
in Boston remake various spaces within and across the city. The
spaces readers will encounter in this book are not just meaningful
venues of writing, but also outcomes of writing itself: social
spaces not just where writing happens but created because writing
happens. Lesh contends that these graffiti spaces reinvent the
writing landscape of the city and its public relationship with
writing. Each chapter introduces readers to different writing
spaces: from bold and broadly visible spots along the highway to
bridge underpasses seldom seen by non-writers; from inconspicuous
notebooks writers call "bibles" to freight yards and model trains;
from abandoned factories to benches where writers view trains.
Between each chapter, readers will find "community interludes,"
responses to the preceding chapters from some of the graffiti
writers who worked on this project. By working closely with writers
engaged in the production of these spaces, as well as drawing on
work invested in questions of geography, publics, and writing, Lesh
identifies new models of community engagement and articulates a
framework for the spatiality of the public work of writing and
writing studies.
