Dionysius the Areopagite, with other poems

by Ann Hawkshaw

This collection of poems by Ann Hawkshaw, a prominent figure in early industrial Manchester poetry, centers around her epic work, *Dionysius the Areopagite*. The poem reimagines the New Testament account of Dionysius' conversion by St. Paul, exploring the consequences of his newfound faith on his beloved, Myra, and her sister, Corrina. Hawkshaw's signature themes of love, loss, and faith are woven throughout the collection, alongside poems that delve into historical reflections. The work offers a glimpse into the Victorian era's social and religious landscape, while also showcasing Hawkshaw's mastery of poetic form and language.
