Poetry. African & African American Studies. Newcomer and Sawtooth Poetry Prize winner Jonah Mixon-Webster urgently considers the poetics of space and body, of race and region, of sexuality and class in the present day-- the water crisis in Flint, Michigan; systemic racism--within the architecture of the current collective crisis and imagination.
