River of Gold by Samuel Ludke is a bold and unforgettable new masterpiece of contemporary poetry. Drenched in raw emotion and burning with visionary clarity, Ludke's voice rises from the depths of love, loss, and transcendence to deliver a collection that is both haunting and luminous.

Each poem flows like molten truth—gritty, radiant, and unflinching—guiding readers through a world where pain becomes prophecy and memory glows with the flicker of divinity. River of Gold is not just a book of poems; it is a descent into the soul's underground currents, where demons rise, angels weep, and the human heart finds its reflection in every drop of golden blood.
