From the cover blurb : "The Wisdom of the Desert" was one of Thomas Merton's favorites among his own books- surely because he had hoped to spend his last years as a hermit. The personal tone of the translations, the blend of reverence and humor so characteristic of him, show how deeply Merton identified with the legendary authors of these sayings and parable, the fourth century Christian fathers who sought solitude and contemplation in the deserts of the Near East."

From the cover blurb : "For this enlarged edition, Father Merton added seventeen poems from 'Emblems of a Season of Fury'. The poems from earlier books . are for the most part lyrical and devotional, but the group from 'Emblems' shows the poet's increasing engagement with life outside the monastery and his strong concern for modern social issues. This volume offers a more representative sampling of the work of a prominent Catholic poet, and one of the most vital American poets of the Twentieth Century." CONDITION -- NEAR FINE -- Very mild surface rub - no crease to spine. Interior is clean and free of marking. An exceptional copy.
