I was one of the judges for the New Mexico-Arizona poetry contest. He was chosen as one of the finalist this year. Bruce has a crisp, honest-hearted view from the driver's seat in the twisting roads of life. His abstract style of poetry allows one to fill in the missing gaps of self identity. We are reminded that what is real or imagined, vague, meaningless or meaningful is laid bare. Everyday we are reminded that our journey in life builds character. There is no reason to run from our experiences or deny their existence. We are made better by life's twists and turns. This is definitely a solid poetical effort on his part worth reading.
