Katherine DiBella Seluja is a pediatric nurse practitioner and the author of Gather the Night: Poems (UNM Press).

Katherine Seluja's new book enriches the literature of diaspora and the border. These cogent, clear-eyed poems acknowledge death and injustice but also celebrate phenomenal survival and resilience. Point of Entry is a humane, consistently compelling volume that reminds us what love, courage, and perseverance look like."—Cyrus Cassells, author of The World That the Shooter Left Us "In Point of Entry, Katherine DiBella Seluja examines the fraught, contested body of our southern border. Grounded in our current moment, the book also acknowledges the many journeys, across centuries, that terrified children, adults, and families have taken from one country to another. This is a book that recognizes poetry's duty to witness, to speak, and to question the function of fences and walls."—Jehanne Dubrow, author of Wild Kingdom: Poems "These masterful poems render through body and breath an inner world, an exterior life, a tender, hungry humanity and spirit in action."—Catherine Strisik, author of The Mistress"With her usual keen attention, sharp eye, and lush language, Seluja walks us through fatal journeys, fractured landscapes, and family histories both broken and enduring. These stunning poems hold precious secrets for survival even as they document grief and loss."—Amy Beeder, author of Now Make an Altar
