Raining Problems

<p><strong>Raining Problems</strong> is a raw defiant poetry collection forged under hot lights and heavier memories. In these pages Samuel Ludke takes the stage alone-black leather dark glasses jaw set against the noise-and lets the world throw what it will. Bullet casings fall beside flowers. Love and violence share the same air. Applause sounds like gunfire. Silence feels louder than both.</p><p>These poems move through bars bedrooms wrecked faith and late-night drives where regret rides shotgun. They speak to the moments when desire turns corrosive when devotion becomes spectacle and when a man realizes he is both the performer and the damage. A shadow of her follows throughout-sometimes a memory sometimes an accusation sometimes the last thing standing behind the smoke.</p>
