Rather than stepping into Fable’s shoes, Kyd Kane said she intends to stand next to him, sharing her “bright, vibrant and loud” style with Grand Rapids. Both poets are part of the Diatribe, a poetry outreach organization that uses language to help students tackle society’s largest issues. Kyd Kane will succeed outgoing poet laureate Marcel “Fable the Poet” Price, the artist she helped appoint when sitting on the selection committee three years ago. “And I can’t even imagine what it would be like, so I was like, ‘Who’s Kyd Kane?’” “Oh, I completely forgot, and I’m feeling like a crab because I’ve been in quarantine,” Kyd Kane said with a laugh. The application process for poet laureate took a month-and-a-half of preparation in February, but Kyd Kane didn’t hear back about an interview until the summer.
