Twenty-one poems of Christian spiritual inspiration from the perspective of a gay man in late middle age.

"The Serendipitous Trip to Just Right" is a story of discovering love in unexpected times and places. Anton and Steve, opposites in every way, meet in 1985 and begin a romantic adventure that climaxes in what may or may not be their last meeting in 2007. This is Chester Randolph's third novel. The book concludes with five short stories.

Thirty-seven poems of spiritual exploration by a gay man in mid-life seeking to move beyond the skeptical atheism and relativism of his youth.

This selection of the poet's early work before he turned to fiction is far-ranging in style and subject, including youthful exploration of love, death, nature and spirituality. A previous book, Nimble in Darkness, was published in 2012 and consists of more recent poetry. His novels are They'll Promise You the Moon, Beardsley Heights and The Serendipitous Trip to Just Right.

Chester Randolph's seventh book is a collection of short novels and stories in two parts. Part one, Memoirs of Gay Youth, are fictions about growing up gay in America in the sixties and seventies. Part two, Ecclesial Voices, portrays Christian believers living out their faith on the fringes of church and society in post-Christian America.

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.
