Striving Towards Being: The Letters of Thomas Merton and Czeslaw Milosz
Farrar, Strauss and Giroux, 1997. 8vo, quarter black paper over white paper boards, gilt titles, [xii], 178pp. First edition. Unclipped dust jacket (21.00) has the faintest of toning to wrappers. Contents clean, binding sharp and square. A selection of reciprocal correspondence between the American Trappist monk and the Polish poet and philosopher, spurred by the publication of Milosz's study of totalitarianism 'The Captive Mind.' The two luminaries discuss poetry, politics, spirituality and the natural world. Rather uncommon and out of print. Fine / Fine.
