Full Throttle

by Gary Chappell

Full Throttle is a collection of poems served straight up, like a shot of whiskey. Gary Chappell writes about friction points in life, those moments of resistance or acceptance that lead to the freedom of a motorbike ride; the cry of a loon; the depth of love, of loss. From prairie to northern forest, Gary’s poems portray a cross-section of our culture, sometimes written with despair, sometimes tongue-in-cheek."Gary Chappell writes his life, himself, his family, his cabin, and motorcycle life, with generosity, both to people and to language, with marvelously rich poems. A poet like Gary creating his own new world with his own imagination and words is always a pleasure. Make it new and Chappell does." ~Don Kerr"In Full Throttle, Gary Chappell takes us on a bike ride through his life, memories, places, peak experiences, loves and losses. It's a good ride on a good road on a good bike." ~David Carpenter
