Selected Reviews

Nick Ripatrazone names Rosetta to The Millions Must-Read Poetry list: “Rosetta is a beautiful book…”

Rosetta weaves threads of memory, Nature, and history into intense, fearless poems… Karina Borowicz writes of a world that is both deeply damaged and exquisitely beautiful.” –Erica Goss in Sticks & Stones.

• Proof reviewed in Chronogram, the Hudson Valley’s arts and culture magazine: “This is a poetry of noticing.”

• Jason Tandon’s review in Agni Online, “The Remains of Holiness” : Borowicz’s The Bees Are Waiting “…belongs to a tradition of poetics that believes silence is as important as language.”

• Grace Cavalieri reviews Proof for the Washington Independent Review of Books.

• Two essays — here, and here — about Karina from Contrary Magazine:  “She captures the unbearable pulse of despair and hope in the world as its people pass across it, scarcely aware.”

• Caitlin Johnson reviews Proof. 

Microreview by poet John Guzlowski from Writing the Polish Diaspora.

• Natalia Kennedy’s review in Columbia Poetry Review, “A Bowl of Caught Water” : “If Dickinson’s poems and her life express the compassionate view of a science-loving woman, then Borowicz echoes that intense and probing gaze.”

• Diana Limbach Lempel’s meditation on the poem “September Tomatoes.”
