This is a file in the correspondence of Thomas Merton under the heading: "Patterson, Nancy-Lou".
Nancy-Lou Patterson was Director of Art at the University of Waterloo, Ontario, Canada, at the time of writing to Merton, where she was founder of the Department of Fine Art. Her poetry appeared in America, The Prairie Schooner, and other notable publications. Merton chose her poetry for volume three of Monks Pond. She later published art criticism, including books about the relationship of art and literature. In addition, she published three novels and was commissioned for liturgical artwork, including murals and stained glass, for churches.
