White Knuckle

 




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
