Dan Boehl, currently a fellow at Solitude, writes poems based on conversations, interactions, and outings he has with other fellows, their partners, and staff he encounters while on residency at the Akademie. This time: Rasha Abbas
Rasha stayed up late one night writing about Karl Eugen, the failed Duke of Schloss Solitude. As the hours grew deep into black, a sudden shudder overtook her as the Duke called from the castle. Never the coward, Rasha left the house and crossed the cold cobbles in search of the specter.
