STEREO(TYPE) - JONAH MIXON-WEBSTER KARTONIERT (TB)

The award-winning poet's darkly riotous debut  exploring stereotypes of Black male identity and
sexuality in a corrupt systemLyrical  loud and radically urgent  Jonah Mixon-Webster's debut
aims its sights at the words and images that shape us and the corrupt forces that stand in the
way of our freedom. Stereo(TYPE) is a reckoning and a force. It is a revision of our most
sacred mythologies - and a work of documentary poetry reporting from Mixon-Webster's hometown
of Flint  Michigan  where untainted tap water is still not guaranteed and the legacies of
racist policies persist.Challenging stereotypes through scenes scattered with satire  violence
and the extreme vagaries of everyday life  Mixon-Webster explores the places where space and
body  race and region and sexuality and class meet and intersect. He invents visual sonic forms
recasts poems as FAQs and transcripts  and dives into dreamscapes and modern tragedies.
Interrogating language and the ways wewield it as both sword and shield  Stereo(TYPE) is a
rapturous collection of vital and beautiful poems.
