About Rosetta:

"Borowicz's collection is a brilliant "burning book" of poems so vivid and moving that the reader is drawn from one page to the next by the urgency of a poet who knows that 'if something is going / to happen / it happens.' Her combination of lyric and narrative weaves a magical thread through each poem with unerring skill, interest, and taste. Every powerful poem rewards the reader with subtle observations in nuanced, rhythmic language that expose a hard-won acceptance of both dangerous realities and glorious beauties of the world."
—Sharon Cumberland
