Elegy for the Monastary Barn
Notes
This is an original, single page mimeograph of the poem by Merton - note the incorrect spelling of the word "monastery" in the title. It was recieved, with deepest gratitude, from John Stanley, who presumably received it from Merton, or perhaps from Merton Trier, first cousin of Thomas Merton (John Stanley received numerous items from Merton Trier, a personal friend). John Stanley was a monk at Gethsemani for a short time while Merton was also there, and spent much of his life researching and writing about Merton, his friends and his family.

Edition
First broadside newsprint edition. Short Title: Pax #1 / A Prelude: For the Feast of St. Agnes
Notes
Newsprint broadside. Pax was a "magazine" of poetry and art in which the work was the free contribution of the artists themselves "as their way of working toward an appreciation of the ideal of an enduring peace: the work of justice, the fruit of love". Pax was edited and published by Robert Lax (close friend to Merton) from the offices of Jubilee magazine starting in the mid-1950’s to the early 1960’s and was revived for a few minor issues in the 1980’s. This item is part of a portfolio in this collection of Pax items that contains the following:
