Sobre IBD

In this raw, piercing collection of contemporary poetry and prose, author Samuel Ludke explores the exquisite agony of loving someone through a slow, silent fading. Close to the Edge captures the anatomy of a breaking relationship-from the intoxicating, gravity-defying freedom of early connection to the quiet grief of holding onto a partner whose soul has already slipped away.With stark vulnerability and unflinching honesty, Ludke navigates the treacherous territory of emotional survival: the silent rooms, the weight of unanswered questions, the realization that love cannot always serve as a rescue mission, and the agonizing choice to finally open your hands and let go.
