The Loneliest Monk Book cover type:Paperback Selma's Mayor is a deeplyFrom aleph to bet, "a" to "b," a gap. As wide or as narrow as the gap between the loneliest monk and his neighbor, human or Divine. That's the gap the loneliest monk of Richard Chess's fifth poetry collection seeks to bridge. Who is the loneliest monk? As Chess writes, he's a "monk without a monastery," "a sit without a sangha," "a minyan of one." In other words, he lives outside of traditional settings and belongs to no traditional community.
