St. Paul’s Chapel & Selected Short Poems J. Chester Johnson

The poetry of J. Chester Johnson covers a vast range of subjects but brings to each the objective eye of a true observer of the human condition.  To each he gives voice to all sorts and conditions with the touch of humor, candor, wit and most of all a lasting thought that stays with us long after the title and text are forgotten. 

It’s a pleasure to read the work of a poet who knows what a poem is.
--Miller Williams

Chester Johnson’s short poems might be rehearsals for the intelligent person’s conversation with God.
