Thomas Merton - word the spelling! - (1915-1968) replaced right into a "author and Trappist monk at Our lady of Gethsemani Abbey in Kentucky. His writings comprise such classics because the Seven Storey Mountain, New Seeds of Contemplation, and Zen and the Birds of urge for food. Merton is the author of more desirable than seventy books that comprise poetry, own journals, collections of letters, social criticism and writings on peace, justice and ecumenism." (see lower than) impressive author and an idea to the peace move. i replaced into heavily pondering anti-nuclear campaigning in the 80's and Merton's call got here up many times .

Thomas Merton was a poet and a religious man, a monk I believe. I hope this helps.

The Merton Center at Bellarmine University has a lot of information on him.
He had a fascinating life story, even if someone is not religiously inclined.

I think he went to Columbia University and visited Olean in Western New york. He also hung out at Cuba Lake.

7 Story Mountain gives you a pretty good idea of who he was as a young man....What information are you looking for?
