The Edge of Heaven is a haunting and luminous collection of poetry that walks the fine line between longing and redemption, between the beauty of life and the ache of loss. Samuel Ludke invites readers into a world where love burns bright enough to guide us through the shadows, where faith trembles on the brink of doubt, and where every heartbeat feels like a prayer.

With language both intimate and sweeping, Ludke captures the fragile moments that define us—those fleeting instants when we stand on the precipice of change, looking toward the horizon and wondering what waits beyond. These poems explore the quiet resilience of the human spirit, the fierce gravity of grief, and the shimmering hope of something greater than ourselves.
