Showcasing the poetry of J. Chester Johnson, St. Paul's Chapel And Selected Shorter Poems, demonstrates his unique style in reflecting observations of life and the divine mystery. Radicals: It's OK,/If not laude,/To infect/To disinfect.//Intumesce/A thin process/By pretext/To context.//With work to suggest/And work to protest,/From side to side,/A narrow ride,//As reformers shift into an extreme/To elaborate toward another theme --/Coursing through the next triumphant mist/To assemble where counting doesn't exist.

Whether you are a poetry enthusiast or just a lover of the English language, this book is extraordinarily enjoyable. With poems that range from the meaningful and thought-provoking to the humorous and even a little dirty, this book is worth every penny and gives the reader insight into the human condition regardless of your own experience. I know I will pick it up often over the years - either for a giggle or to reflect on our country's dark hour and the spirit that prevailed.
