- Abstract
Jay Caldwell has been an avid reader of Thomas Merton since stumbling across Elected Silence in Hay-on-Wye. Advent 2019: volume 26 number 2 13 Paper Cranes Jay Caldwell A paper bird is stronger than a hawk. Thomas Merton Through the bare window Of a breeze block hermitage A man in denim overalls Fold and refolds Words calling out violence, bigotry Into paper birds Launches them high above the monastery walls Hits home, wounds politicians And is silenced by his superiors But not for long The need too urgent he Smooths another piece of paper Uncaps his pen Prays for the right words.
