Asnia Asim's Quarantine with Rilke shares with the reader an intimacy with the Self-a quiet relationship between the divine and the everyday. These poems meditate on the tension between inwardly solitude and the desire to belong. Steeped in nostalgia and sensitive to the coordinates of Being, they retain their raw vulnerability as, verse after verse, they set out to explore the bewildering power of isolation, longing, and love.
