Thomas Merton

An introduction to the spiritual legacy of Thomas Merton. Thomas Merton was a Trappist monk and one of the most influential spiritual figures of the 20th century.

Superabundantly Alive: Thomas Merton's Dance with the Feminine is a unique, unified, multi-genre work that includes dialogue, imaginary letters, poems, and reflective essays by two established Canadian poets. Taking cues from Merton himself, Susan and John establish a playful, jazzy, dialogic tone -- superabundantly alive.

This unique reflection was prompted by an invitation Matthew Fox received to speak on the centennial of Thomas Merton's birth.

First published in 2003 and now available in paperback to celebrate the one hundredth anniversary of Thomas Mertons birth, When the Trees Say Nothing has sold more than 60,000 copies and continually inspires readers with its unique collection of Mertons luminous writings on nature, arranged for reflection and meditation.
