A radical  urgent collection of poems about Blackness  the self  and the dismantling of corrupt
powers in the fight for freedom.A PEN America Literary Award WinnerJonah Mixon-Webster works at
the intersections of space and the body  race and region  sexuality and class. Stereo(TYPE) 
his debut collection of poetry  is a reckoning and a force  a revision of our most sacred
mythologies  and a work of documentary 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 transcripts and frequently asked questions  and 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.
