“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, author

“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, author

“Gary unflinchingly explores road-trip therapy, growing up, growing older, retiring, and all of life’s miracles that transpire along the way – love, sex, rock ‘n’ roll and figuring out a guy’s true passions and life’s purposes. I really related to the book – in my eyes, it stands out from a lot of the less passionate poetry books that have come out – it tells the story of one great man’s colourful life and makes readers crave more from this articulate writer.”    – Wes Funk, author & novelist
