Kim Gek Lin Short on Faraway Tables: “A Quiet Exuberance”

Poets and readers have taken their places at the table! Today's endorsement comes from poet Kim Gek Lin Short, author of China Cowboy and Run. Kim Gek Lin Short writes:

“Faraway Tables is a postpandemic Lost and Found in which the quotidian is remade and emulsified in the stuck clock of memory. Redolent with palaver and puns, plus the guitarra of fado and the cuckoo of good times, these poems—replete with the provenance of nostalgia—are time capsules in the armchair tourist’s pillbox. Goodman’s reminiscences have a quiet exuberance, like finding a table for two in one’s mind, the intimate conversation is a duet between the white noise of clanking cutlery and the rhythms of recollection.”

Faraway Tables released on October 1 by Yorkshire Publishing. Learn more about the book, order information, and news about the collection by staying tuned to this blog and at www.EricDGoodman.com.
