Seth Jani's NIGHT FABLE explores the tenuous boundary between sleeping and waking, alternately at home in the solid world of natural forms and the shifting landscapes of dream. Its 70 short poems map the luminous hinterland where consciousness and identity arise, dissolve, then arise again. It is a collection which praises the liminal and indistinct, the "hole in our] reason/ where the continuum of ancient things/ once held us closely/to the rabbit-colored earth."

Seth Jani's Field Music is composed of fifty lyrical dispatches from the wilderness. Not just the wilderness as geography, but as an alternative psychological and spiritual framework outside the orderly arrangements of waking consciousness. Informed by Buddhist Metaphysics, Archetypal Psychology and the Western Romantic Tradition, the poems in this short collection seek to be a conduit for "the wonderful little ghosts of the trees and rivers."
