Adrift in a Sea of M&Ms

In Adrift in a Sea of M&Ms, Marcel Price often playfully engages difficult narratives revolving around race, mental health, and our place in the world. Topics that are normally difficult and burdensome become lights and far easier to navigate through Prices eyes, and through Prices language. If the mission of this type of work is to shine a light on anyone who has ever felt like an outsider, or anyone who has felt like an other, Marcel Price has succeeded in talking about shared struggles with nuance and patience. Every poem arcs upwards to an ending joy, or a brutal and needed honestly. Whether it is an assessment of Americas issues with medication, or a complex look at bubbles, this collection has everything you need to come out clean, looking at the world in new and exciting ways. - Hanif Willis-Abdurraqib Author of The Crown Aint Worth Much.Fable the Poet writes poetry that balances being both insightful and accessible.
