Session One

Session One is a raw and evocative collection of poetry that opens the door to a mind in motion-restless, searching, and unafraid of truth. In these pages, Samuel Ludke delivers an unflinching first offering: words that cut deep, linger in silence, and rise again with hope.
Moving between shadows of heartbreak, flashes of clarity, and moments of profound reflection, Session One captures the weight of memory and the spark of renewal. Each poem feels like a conversation-a session with the self, with love, with loss, and with the unspoken parts of being human.
