Publisher's Synopsis
To Light the Last Spark is a poignant and introspective collection inspired by Lucas Rudy's experience quitting his first "adult" office job. These poems navigate the tension between routine and rebellion, capturing the quiet moments of discontent that build up over time - until something finally gives. Through vivid imagery and sharp observations, the collection explores themes of urban isolation, fleeting human connections, and the resistance of the soul against routing. From the sterile corridors of office life to the vast expanse of the desert, these poems examine the search for meaning, identity, and the spark that keeps us moving forward.
