“From this collection of articles assembled in the bizarre and tragic year 2020, readers will find multiple renditions of Thomas Merton’s direct transmission of faith, articles offering intellectual and spiritual sustenance for “keeping it weird” on the journey into and beyond the chaos and cruelties of our temporary home.” Click here to read the full introduction by Deborah Pope Kehoe.

The Merton Annual publishes articles about Thomas Merton and about related matters of major concern to his life and work. Its purpose is to enhance Merton’s reputation as a writer and monk, to continue to develop his message for our times, and to provide a regular outlet for substantial Merton-related scholarship. The Merton Annual includes as regular features, reviews, review-essays, a bibliographic survey, interviews, and first appearances of unpublished or obscurely published Merton materials, photographs and art. Essays about related literary and spiritual matters are also considered.
