About Freya Rohn

clue (n. ): “anything that guides or directs in an intricate case,” 1590s, a special use of a revised spelling of clew “a ball of thread or yarn. ”

In Greek myth, Ariadne gave Theseus a ball of red thread to help find his way out of the labyrinth. And like Ariadne’s thread, there are many clues in the marginal and obscure that speak to the world we find ourselves in. If we seek out these stories, we can find more of the thread out of the canon.

I’m an Anchorage-based writer, and former curator and archaeologist.
