Description: These poems grieve for a world of the lost while extending solace to those who remain and remember.
Brief description: Katherine DiBella Seluja is a pediatric nurse practitioner and the author of Gather the Night: Poems (UNM Press).
Review Quotes: Quietly powerful . . . Gather the Night ambitiously takes on the task of speaking about loss, addiction, madness, grief, and love, bringing us into its intimate confrontations. We emerge from reading it with a deeper understanding of all of the above, a sense of wonder at the way we get through the harder, harsher aspects of our lives, and an appreciation for poets and nurses like Seluja who guide the way.
