Overview

A volume of inspiring and thought-provoking poetry, this anthology contains writings inspired by monastic life.

Once again, all those with a contemplative soul and a love of things literary have been blessed: Gethsemani Abbey's resident muse, Br. Paul Quenon, has in Monkscript Two assembled another eclectic and compelling mixture of prose and poetry. . . . No doubt Merton would have appreciated both the content of Monkscript Two and the promise such a publication holds for interreligious dialogue among those who appreciate that literature truly can be prayer. --John Alexander, attorney, publisher, and past president, the San Diego Thomas Merton Society
