Book Review: 'More Wreck More Wreck' by Tyler Gobble | Brian Alan Ellis
Texas poet Tyler Gobble is so crazy for Swayze that he named his latest collection twice.
*
More Wreck More Wreck reads like the American dream if the American dream consisted of rainbows and astronaut helmets and Chicken McNuggets.
*
Gobble is like Peter Pan with a really impressive beard whose talents lay in his poise, his optimism, and the playful exuberance in which he uses language:
You’re bound to get knifed at some point, a man on a bench says.
A bottle rocket flared from the dark.
I’m not afraid of knives or humans or fireworks!
I have been collecting my whole life!
Switchblades and Freds and Firecrackers.
What if he grabs a stick of butter by accident?
And when I come to, he’s made pancakes out of life’s terrible confusion.
