First broadside edition. Short Title: Pax #4 / Five Poems by Thomas Merton / "Wisdom"; "Song: In the Shows of the Round Ox"; "Birdcage Walk"; "Nocturne"; "Landscape".
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 of Pax items in this collection that contains the following:
