What Woman That Was: Poems for Mary Dyer

Anne Myles ’84

What Woman That Was: Poems for Mary Dyer by Anne Myles ’84 celebrates the life of the 17th-century New England Quaker martyred for her religious faith and courageous witness to persecution. The poems—which speak at times through Mary Dyer’s voice, at times about or to her—explore how Dyer’s legacy of resistance resonates in our contemporary world. (Final Thursday Press, 2022)
