About Gather the Night:
"Gather the Night is a poetic love letter to Seluja's brother Lou and to all schizophrenics. . . . These poems capture the wonder and grief of those who have loved the afflicted, witnessed their buzzing world, and endured their loss."
"Katherine DiBella Seluja's poems stop us in our trackstake us inside the suffering of the mentally ill and addicted, and testify to the toll on them and their families as they seek healing."
"When you stop breathing while reading, you know you are there. . . . Gather the Night is a 'rupture so much closer than it seems.'"
"Seluja has created a collection of poems that are both heartbreakingly beautiful and deliver the wrenching pain of a powerful kick to the reader's gut."
