Description

Riot is Samuel Ludke's unflinching portrait of a nation's heartbeat under siege—told in verse that cuts like glass and glows like fire. Known as The Poet of America, Ludke channels raw emotion and sharp observation into poems that capture the chaos, beauty, and contradictions of our time.

From crowded city streets to quiet, broken hearts, Riot moves with urgency, its lines crackling with the sound of protest, longing, and survival. These poems do not whisper; they shout, they sing, they demand to be heard.

This is not just a collection—it's a rallying cry. A testament to the human spirit's refusal to be silenced. And above all, it is America, seen through the eyes of its fiercest, most passionate voice.
