Stephen Spender does not think Merton's "Letter to an Innocent Bystander" would be a good fit for Encounter magazine, but suggests Tempo Presente in Rome.
Stephen Spender was a British poet, critic and essayist. He was part of the "Oxford poets" movement. His circle included W. H. Auden, Isaiah Berlin, Louis MacNiece, Bernard Spencer, Christopher Isherwood, and C. Day Lewis. At the time of writing, he was editor of Encounter magazine.
