Illuminati by Samuel Ludke

Samuel Ludke unleashes a short but powerful new collection with Illuminati, a bold and confident flow of lyrical emotion. With under a dozen pieces, this may seem like a quick read, but there are plenty of thought-provoking lines and turns that will have readers looping back for another taste. One of the sharpest pieces, “Glasses,” has the polish of a piece ready to be dropped on the mic, while others could use some light tweaking for flow and creativity. Overall, this is a passionate spill of poetry from a prolific writer who is only getting better.
