The Merton Annual, Vol 19 (The Merton Annual series)

The Merton Annual began in 1998 as a vehicle for publishing extended monographs related to Thomas Merton, including his contributions to letters; his monastic, ecumenical, and social concerns; and his importance as a writer, artist, and monk. This gathering of articles illustrates the relationships between liturgical art and monasticism, Merton's influence upon other artists, and his own sustained poetic development—where his cultural interests melded into a global appreciation.
