Lyrical, loud, and radically urgent, the book aims to challenge the words and images that shape us and the oppressive forces that hinder our freedom.

He interrogates language and its power, both as a tool of oppression and as a means of resistance. Stereo(TYPE) is a rapturous collection of vital and beautiful poems that offer a fresh perspective on the complexities of Black male identity and sexuality.
In conclusion, Jonah Mixon-Webster's Stereo(TYPE) is a groundbreaking debut poetry collection that challenges stereotypes, explores the intersections of identity, and exposes the corrupt forces that hinder our freedom. Through its lyrical, loud, and urgent voice, the book offers a powerful testament to the resilience and creativity of Black individuals and communities.
