Fr. Collins presents a view of the life and thoughts of Thomas Merton by plumbing his correspondence with family, friends, and colleagues over the years. Merton’s personal and professional correspondence was previously published by Farrar, Straus, and Giroux.

In this volume, Collins extracts and organizes from these sources many of the significant subjects about which Merton wrote and presents each topic chronologically.

In this way, readers can easily follow the development of Merton's thoughts, feelings, intuitions, and impressions on a variety of topics of concern to him.
