Look At Me Through Tears

<p>In the quiet spaces between heartbreak and confession Samuel Ludke invites you to look - really look - at the soul through its shadows. <em>Look at Me Through Tears</em> is a collection of poems that trace the fragile filaments of loss longing and transformation. Here tears are not mere symbols of sorrow - they become lenses thinning the barrier between self and other pain and beauty yesterday and the uncharted tomorrow.</p><p>Within these pages Ludke's voice emerges as both wounded and enduring: he charts the ache of abandonment and the ache of remembrance the betrayal of memory and the yearning for forgiveness. He asks the reader to meet him in the mirror of his breaking heart and to follow him as he walks away returns falls and rises. Every poem becomes a crater of the self open to moon-light and storm alike.</p>
