Poet Samiya Bashir Emerges From Isolation

When the coronavirus hit the world last spring, Portland poet Samiya Bashir was in Italy for the prestigious Rome prize. She had given up her housing in Portland because she was supposed to be there for a year. But soon Bashir and the other prize-winners were told to leave before the borders closed. Bashir has spent the last year in a borrowed house on Cape Cod wondering about the nature of home and solitude. Bashir has an essay about her experience in the new book “There’s a Revolution Outside, My Love.”
