Thomas Merton
About
Thomas Merton (1915–1968) is arguably the most influential American Catholic author of the twentieth century. For more than a quarter century he lived at the Abbey of Gethsemani, a Trappist monastery near Bards-town, Kentucky. This issue includes three of his previously unpublished poems.
