The art of locating ourselves, in isolation, across locations. Of connecting, when isolated. Of the solace of finding our truths, of connecting the dots, and drawing a line through them to form the shape of us.
The word is almost a portmanteau and is certainly inherently a contradiction within, thus the origin of our quest within for our place without. From iso, meaning the same, (e.g. isobars, isotherm), and location. To resonate with isolation. For this is where we found ourselves, isolocated.
Isobars connect dots across locations with the same pressure, isotherms draw a line through locations of the same temperature. Our poetry collection finds moments of connect of the isolated, across locations, in this thread we called Isolocation.

Get the Self Isolation mug.Isolationism is a foreign policy which combines a non-interventionist military policy and a political policy of economic nationalism (protectionism). In other words, it asserts both of the following:
1. Non-interventionism – Political rulers should avoid entangling alliances with other nations and avoid all wars not related to direct territorial self-defense.
2. Protectionism – There should be legal barriers to control trade and cultural exchange with people in other states.
Isolationism is not to be confused with the non-interventionist philosophy and foreign policy of the libertarian world view, which espouses unrestricted free trade and freedom of travel for individuals to all countries. This "libertarian isolationist" view is best defined as a policy of non-participation in foreign political relations, but free trade and affability to all people.
