About the Book

Superabundantly Alive: Thomas Merton's Dance with the Feminine is a unique, unified, multi-genre work that includes dialogue, imaginary letters, poems, and reflective essays by two established Canadian poets. Taking cues from Merton himself, Susan and John establish a playful, jazzy, dialogic tone â superabundantly alive. This book invites participation for those who already know Merton's work and for those who are meeting this whole and broken, prophetic, whimsical, paradoxical prophet and visionary for the first time. Robert Lax once described Merton's poetry and the man himself as "superabundantly alive." McCaslin and Porter prove the truth of this description in their enchanting account of the writer-mystic who now comes into his second century of stature and significance, in the words of Boris Pasternak, "[a]live and burning to the end.

Review :
Susan McCaslin and J. S. Porter have given us in this book their heartfelt appreciations of Thomas Merton as gifted and imperfect human being, brilliant writer, and intimate friend of his readers. Their synergy as collaborators is infectious: fresh, personal, sassy, substantial. They invite us, their readers, to join with them in the general dance of the universe to which Merton invites us all. -- Donald Grayston, Past President of the Thomas Merton Society of Canada & International Thomas Merton Society This splendid gallimaufry by two poet-essayists is part riff, part meditation, part invention, part testament, but withal, a brilliant kaleidoscope of impression, insight, and inquiry. The many lineaments of love, desire, and memory, the many strands of lived theology, and the many stages of human and divine maturation are explored with a fetching honesty. A liberating read. -- Michael Higgins, Vice-President for Mission and Catholic Identity, Sacred Heart University, CT; Author of Jean Vanier: Logician of the Heart (2016) "Using different lenses and creating their own 'word dance,' seasoned writers McCaslin and Porter offer us a potpourri of fresh insights about Merton that creates both artistic tribute and epistolary conversation with Tom and with 'M.' - an unconventional approach that maintains its 'centre of prayer poetry - praise.'" - Dr. Monica Weis SSJ, professor emerita of English at Nazareth College, former Vice President of ITMS, and author of Thomas Merton's Gethsemani (with Harry L Hinkle) (UPK, 2005) The Environmental Vision of Thomas Merton (UPK, 2011), and Thomas Merton and the Celts: A New World Opening Up (Wipf and Stock, 2016)
