Proof

Winner of the Codhill Poetry Award and a finalist for the National Poetry Series.

The poems in Proof testify with a quiet urgency to the existence and influence of the unseen. It is with a singular compassion that Borowicz directs our attention to what is overlooked: the old woman walking her lame collie, a cardboard box on the sidewalk filled with the bric-a-brac of a dismantled life, the equation of objects lined up in a museum display case, a broken doll's arm poking from a nest of seaweed, the burst of crimson hidden in a poppy seed.
