The Alaskan Journal of Thomas Merton - presentation copy Place Published: Isla Vista, California
Publisher
Turkey Press
Number of Pages
67 pages
Edition
Special, limited, deluxe publisher's presentation copy - #2 of 4. Short Title: The Alaskan Journal of Thomas Merton - presentation copy
Notes
Cloth in slipcase. Special limited, deluxe edition - publisher's presentation copy numbered 2 of only 4 copies in total. Original Scholco and Japanese linen and fine slipcase, covered by a relief print of a photograph taken by Merton in Alaska. This book came from the collection of poet, publisher, designer, photographer and essayist Jonathan Williams. Williams and Merton were acquaintances and regularly corresponded between 1965-1971. Williams visited Gethsemani Abbey in January of 1967 with Guy Davenport and Ralph Eugene Meatyard. A wonderful photographic portrait of Merton (taken by Williams) can be found in William's book "Portrait Photographs". Another nice association is that Turkey Press also published a book of Jonathan Williams. (Captain's Bookshelf)

Prayer and Wholeness Place Published: Trappist / The Abbey of Gethsemani
Notes
This item is a typed transcript of an homily Merton gave at a Mass in the small chapel at Gethsemani on 29 May 1968, presumably transcribed and prepared by a party present on the occasion. It is not referenced under this title in Dell'Isola or Burton. This mimeograph represents one of numerous mimeographs acquired from Bob Bonazzi, John Howard Griffin's literary executor - and Griffin's widow's then second husband - a few years after the main Griffin manuscript archive was purchased from them (which is now at Columbia). The mimeos and typescripts from this collection represent a separate transaction from the acquisition of the Griffin archive, as the items had either been sent to R. Bonazzi directly by Merton or his representatives, or perhaps they were duplicated items already in the Griffin archive. (William Reese Company - Rare Books and Manuscripts)
