Speed Wobbles is a collection that reflects on middle age, muscle memory, and the culture of street skateboarding. The poems incorporate the language of skateboarding itself—terms like Smith grind and griptape—to celebrate and explore this creative and ever-evolving art form that has been important to so many people since its inception in mid 20th Century Southern California.

PRAISE:

 

Blending the language and energy of skate culture, Narron captures the danger, beauty, and creativity of a form that has long inspired community and reinvention. Rooted in the history of skateboarding and alive with motion, Speed Wobbles is a tribute to the art of staying balanced while everything keeps moving.

—Leah Huete de Maines, Poet-in-Residence Emerita, Northern Kentucky University
