Kalamazoo-based creative Marcel Fable Price drops by Keep Your Voice Down to promote his book “New American Monarch,” and perform an excerpt from the title ahead of its October 8 release. Alek, Doug, and Fable also settle the Chicago deep dish versus New York style pizza debate, discover the link between Fable’s love of nature and Louis Armstrong, and discuss the myriad of ways one can process trauma and grief.
Marcel Fable Price is a multi-hyphenate, self-directed, intuitive creative whose primary medium resides somewhere between oratory expression and creative writing. Fable is the 2016 recipient of a Community Advocate Award, 2017 40 Under 40 Honoree, was the 2017-2020 Poet Laureate of Grand Rapids, Michigan, a 2020 Grand Rapids area Black Businesses “Black Bottom Community Builder” Award winner, 2021 Michigan Humanities Impact Partner of the Year, 2022 Newsmaker of the Year, and was given the “Imagination Award” by the West Michigan Center for Arts and Technology in 2023.
