White Knuckle is a concise exposé of a severe childhood experience.
Bruce's debut poetry collection, an autobiographical report on the reality of life in a poverty-stricken, drug and violence-fuelled environment, is a gut-wrenching composition of grief, loss, and abandonment at an early age.
This powerful book is brutal, tragic, and moving: an essential read.
Praise for White Knuckle:
"These are vital poems rooted in personal experience but which reach out into common ground."— Bob Beagrie, Ek Zuban
"There are experiences in poetry to which you become a witness. And it is essential that there be witnesses."— Helena Nelson, The Sphinx Review
"Steven Bruce's poetry is intelligent, sharp, and demands to be heard."— Mandy Maxwell, The Stanza
