When the world grows quiet and the lights flicker low, the night reveals its own stories—haunting, tender, and unflinchingly human. The Night Shift is a collection of poetry that explores the hours when sleep won't come, when memories surface unbidden, and when the soul feels most awake.

Samuel Ludke captures the solitude and strange beauty of the late hours, where shadows carry secrets and silence speaks louder than words. These poems traverse themes of love and loss, yearning and resilience, despair and renewal. Each verse is a window into the hidden emotions that live between dusk and dawn, offering comfort to those who have walked through darkness and sought meaning in the quiet.
