A quick note to say that Jason Bivins wrote a kind and insightful review of Words and Silences for Dusted Magazine. Bivins is a specialist in religion and American culture and a professor at North Carolina State University. He also has a long history of writing about music, and is an improvising musician as well (with recordings on Family Vineyard among other indie labels). So, Bivins has an ideal background to understand and write about both Thomas Merton’s words and the music on the album.
