Notes: Taken from Merton Archive CD's in the 129 to 147 range (not all tracks). "Thomas Merton was a profound mystic, a celebrated writer, and an exceptional teacher. This set, available for the first time ever, collects his enlightening lectures on poetry. After relinquishing his life as a budding academic to become a Trappist monk, he continued to write and teach about literature while at the Abbey of Gethsemani. Under his guidance, you will look at poets like William Blake, Gerard Manley Hopkins, W. H. Auden, T. S. Eliot, Charles Peguy, and Emily Dickinson." -- Container / Disc 1.
