About this title

Synopsis

Poet, Trappist monk, religious philosopher, translator, social critic: the late Thomas Merton was all these things. This classic selection from his great body of poetry affords a comprehensive view of his varied and progressively innovative work. Selected by Mark Van Doren and James Laughlin, this slim volume is now available again as a wonderful showcase of Thomas Merton’s splendid poetry.

About the Author

Thomas Merton (1915-1968) entered the Cistercian Abbey of Gethsemani in Kentucky, following his conversion to Catholicism and was ordained in 1949. During the 1960s, he was increasingly drawn into a dialogue between Eastern and Western religions and was actively engaged with domestic issues of war and racism.

A unique collection of Classics, in religion, philosophy, history, and literature. Our principle of selection: if a book - literary, scientific, historical or theological - sheds light on ultimate questions in an excellent way, it's a worthy candidate for our shelves. An eccentric community of books cherished in an old two-story Dutch Barn house in Wichita, Kansas.
