Ariadne / Dark Dark Shine Caroline Beasley-baker

Poetry. The poems in ARIADNE/DARK DARK SHINE are, as the starting poem says, a lost/found/&repeat narration. The arcing-thread--a-whip/lifeline/way/the-magical-gift-given/odd-bit--discovered in an old sewing basket. (Who sews nowadays?) No enchanted sword or mirror--how much braver to pocket the spool of thread, head out, put your finger to a pulse and count. A puzzle sometimes, which simple thing reveals a boon. The question posed, labyrinth or circle?.
