Summary

"At the intersections of space and the body, race and region, sexuality and class, comes the poetry of Jonah Mixon-Webster. Stereo(TYPE) is a reckoning and a force, a revision of our most sacred mythologies, and a work of documentary poetry reporting from Mixon-Webster's hometown of Flint, Michigan, where clean tap water remains an uncertainty and the aftermath of racist policies persist. Challenging stereotypes through scenes that scatter with satire, violence, and the extreme vagaries of everyday life, Mixon-Webster invents visual/sonic forms, conceptualizes poems as FAQs and transcripts, dives into dreamscapes and modern tragedies, deconstructing the very foundations America is built on. Interrogating language and the ways we wield it as both sword and shield, Stereo(TYPE) is a one-of-a-kind, rapturous collection of vital and beautiful poems"--, Provided by publisher
