Dancing at the intersection of melody and humanity, Mitchell L. H. Douglas’ Universal Corner imagines what beat moves the world. Douglas’ poetry rides the skip and pop of vinyl, radio waves, and mixtape collage through a complex modern life, his voice equally shaped by freestyling and stage diving, having come of age in two seemingly different musical cultures: punk and Hip-Hop. These seemingly disparate genres reveal surprising connections in Douglas’ poems, in which he finds that, through the experience of memory and musical communion, common ground abounds. Reconciling rage and joy, public and private, Mitchell Douglas is one of our most vital voices of the urban Midwest, a poet of with both a critical and compassionate perspective on the pulse of America’s heartland.
