Flatlining

By Samuel Ludke

In Flatlining, Samuel Ludke delivers a haunting, visceral collection of poems that explore the silence between heartbeats-the moment when life hangs in the balance and truth gasps for air. With unflinching honesty and a pulse that flutters between rage and reverence, Ludke dives deep into themes of death, resurrection, memory, and madness. Each poem reads like a final breath, raw and urgent, yet meticulously crafted, pulling readers into the sterile glow of hospital lights, the cold metal of gurneys, and the unbearable weight of what it means to be alive.

This is not just a poetry book-it's a defibrillator to the soul. A voice crying out from the body bag, inked with the word "freed," Flatlining refuses to fade quietly. It is a reckoning, a resurrection, and a record of the pulse that continues to echo long after the line goes flat.
