Rainy Saturday Night is a haunting, intimate descent into the quiet corners of a soul that has weathered too many storms and still reaches for light. In this striking new collection, Samuel Ludke blends street-level grit with tender vulnerability, crafting poems that bloom like wildflowers through cracks in the pavement.

These are verses born in midnight rain-where memory pools in the gutters, where old loves echo in passing headlights, and where the poet confronts the shadows of his own reflection staring back from the world beneath his feet. With a voice both raw and unflinching, Ludke explores heartbreak, longing, rebirth, and the strange beauty that grows from loneliness.
