Robert Randolph, a writer-in-residence and chair of Waynesburg University’s Department of English and Foreign Languages, will have four of his works included in three upcoming national publications.

Randolph’s poem, “Ambused,” will be published in the Chiron Review, a publication that hosts a wide range of contemporary creative writing. The poem is a love poem with an element of grief, Randolph said.

BOAAT Press, an online journal of poetry, fiction, essays and photography, will publish Randolph’s poem, “Some Things About an Old Man,” in an upcoming issue. Randolph explained it is a poem about an old man walking alone through a town, realizing the fact he is old yet full of memories, holidays and celebrations.

Also to be published are a short essay, “My Mother’s Letters,” and a poem, “Final Journals,” both in the Journal for the Assembly of the Expanded Perspectives on Learning. Randolph said his essay was inspired by a letter he received from his mother before she passed that he always carries with him and reads often.

“My published works give me the opportunity to share what matters to me,” said Randolph. “Reading and writing allow us all to be in the world in powerful, eventful and true ways.”

He has published 47 individual poems in 40 different journals, in addition to 11 essays in scholarly journals. Most recently, he was chosen as pastor-in-residence at Gettysburg Lutheran Seminary in Gettysburg.

Randolph holds a bachelor’s degree in English from Wilmington University, a master’s and doctorate in English from Southern Illinois University, as well as master’s degree in theology from Louisville Presbyterian Theological Seminary and a master’s in counseling from Waynesburg University.
