'Dionysius the Areopagite, with other poems' Summary
'Dionysius the Areopagite' follows the titular character's journey as he embraces Christianity after an encounter with St. Paul. The poem explores the impact of this conversion on his life, particularly on his relationship with Myra, his intended bride. Myra, struggling to reconcile her love for Dionysius with his newfound faith, finds solace in the companionship of her sister, Corrina. As Dionysius navigates his new path, his connection to Myra becomes strained, and he is faced with difficult choices regarding his loyalty to both his love and his faith. Hawkshaw's poem delves into themes of religious conviction, personal sacrifice, and the enduring power of love in the face of societal pressures and spiritual awakening. Beyond this epic narrative, the collection encompasses a range of poems that reflect upon history, loss, and the strength of belief, offering a comprehensive view of Hawkshaw's artistry and her exploration of human emotions and the complexities of faith.Book Details
