Denise Levertov was a English-born poet who moved to the United States in 1948 after marrying an American, Mitchell Goodman. Goodman introduced Levertov to Robert Creeley of Black Mountain College in Asheville, North Carolina. Creeley's direct style and derivation from the poetry establishment influenced Levertov's writing. Although published by Lawrence Ferlinghetti and associated with the Beat writers, Levertov resisted this comparison and criticized much of what the movement stood for. She was an anti-war activist and campaigned against the Vietnam War. Levertov first writes to Merton to ask whether he would send a poem for the War Resisters' League Engagement Calendar in July of 1967. Wendell Berry brought Denise Levertov to meet Merton at his hermitage on December 10, 1967 (which is recounted on that date in his published journals). Besides Levertov's letter, there had been some correspondence from Merton to Levertov ("two brief business notes" according to the 1973 letter by Richard Edelman), which are not extant.
