Poems for the Poor in Spirit is Chester Randolph's fourth collection of poetry. It may best be described as meditations on living life on the fringes of religious community, pop culture and political struggle. Still, the poet's sanctuary remains a monastery that remains in the midst of the world and the flesh. Mr. Randolph's day job is as a manager of community housing programs for formerly homeless families recovering from addiction. He is in his last year of the Theological Studies program at Andover Newton Theological School.
