Great Regulars: Laws regarding public space are inherently

exclusionary, even if, on the surface, they appear designed toward inclusion." These poets use "locational conflict" or "interventionary practices" to reclaim public spaces as sites of social production. "Such poetic intervention," they argue, "poaches public space in innovative and sometimes antagonistic ways, seizing democratic rights, rather than stuffing them silently into pocket."

Their book looks at four instances of contemporary Guerrilla Poetry.
