Chemistry and Other Sad Boy Stuff is a short-form poetry and sketches collection that I hope distills and universalizes what I've learned, during the course of collecting, is my high-masking depressive autistic experience. It would mean everything to me for you to even pick it up, and even more if just one word on one page somehow resonates with you. In that way, the theme of the book turns from isolation to connection, to a reminder that you only have to be as alone as serves you...

Organized in four sections – Inception, Longing, Chaos, and Epiphany – K.Y. Robinson's debut poetry collection explores what it is to want in spite of trauma, shame, injustice, and mental illness. It is one survivor's powerful testimony, and a love letter "to those who lie awake burning."

This question remains debatable for over centuries ever since love and relationship has been known to mankind. What is it really that men want in a woman? Is it true that they give more importance to the internal characteristics than physical exquisiteness? Do men look for a woman who is up for one-night stands or a woman for a long-term commitment?Dominantly, the women are the one's who find it hard to untangle these questions. These queries are meant and intended to boggle their m...

The Shock is a collection of raw, meditative poems that move through love, loss, identity, and spiritual disorientation with unflinching honesty. Written in a voice that is at once intimate and searching, Samuel Ludke's work lingers in the space between breakdown and awakening—where language strains to hold what the mind is only beginning to understand.Across these poems, repetition becomes reflection, simplicity becomes revelation, and emotional intensity is stripped of o...

This is a collection of poems and essays that represents a significant amount of the material that I have written over a span of the last three decades. Poetry is the main form of the writing I have done, but I also did some song-writing and short prose pieces, though I have chosen to include mostly poetry in this book. This is the first time I have published any of my work, as writing and music have been more of a hobby for me than a serious consideration. It is only by the friendly sugge...
