Sprocket is a series of breathless prose-poems capturing poet Al Rempel's childhood adventures spent roaming free in the idyllic setting of Arnold, BC, a small farming community tucked into the corner of Vedder Mountain, near the US border. Each poem presents a snapshot of one or two memories, sometimes involving the author's siblings, his two summertime only school friends, or any number of other local characters. From climbing up the mountain with handholds wet with moss and banana slugs to finding the best way to run full blast through a cornfield just before harvest, Rempel takes his readers through an age where, as long as you were home by suppertime, you could go almost anywhere on your bike.
