Nothing Left is a raw and unflinching collection of poems written from the edge of emotional survival. In these pages, Samuel Ludke strips the self down to its last remaining truths-grief, love, rage, memory-until the voice is no longer solid but fluid, breaking apart and running downward like ink in the rain.

These poems explore what remains after loss has taken everything it can: after love collapses, after belief fractures, after the body and mind are exhausted from carrying too much for too long. Identity dissolves. The speaker becomes witness to their own unraveling, questioning whether disappearance is defeat-or transformation.
