This is a file in the correspondence of Thomas Merton under the heading: "Livingston, Claire".
Claire Livingston was a poet and professional violinist who taught at North Hennepin State Junior College in Osseo, Minnesota. Her husband, Ray (see "Livingston, Ray F." file), was first in contact with Merton and sent him some of Claire's poetry. Merton included a number of her poems, and their eleven year old son Ira's poems, in the fourth edition of Monks Pond. Livingston was also on the board of editors for the literary magazine Karamus. (Source: Monks Pond, pp. 348.)
