Thanks so much for the information about Thomas Merton. I just ran across his name yesterday regarding macaronic literature and will look him up. For those of you who don't know what macaronic verse is, here is the wikipedia link: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Macaronic_Latin
I'm finding lots of journal articles about macaronic literature in languages other than Latin... Ukrainian, Kenyan writers, Latin combined with German. I think I may need to narrow it down to just Latin and English, although there are some interesting articles about macaronic literature in terms of "codeswitching." http://www.arts.gla.ac.uk/SESLL/EngLang/LILT/code-switch.htm

I don't know if you have begun your research on the use of Macaronic verse by Thomas Merton. There is an excellent index in the biography by Michael Mott, entitled THE SEVEN MOUNTAINS OF THOMAS MERTON, that you might find helpful for locating what he wrote.
