“[ . . . ] The prose poems that make up Laura Costas’ Ariadne Awakens: Instructions for the Labyrinth, rearticulate the myth of following, finding, losing and following again an invisible thread that connects body to body, body to soul, soul to soul—for our time of answering machines, voice mail, screens, clocks, gas stations and parking lots. These poems are in the imperative because they are directions, however openended, so we can join her there.” —Anne Becker, Author of Human Animal
