Faraway Tables Reviewed in Syncopation Literary Journal

I’m excited to share that Faraway Tables has been reviewed by the founding editor of Syncopation Literary Journal! 

This thoughtful review highlights the collection’s sensory elements, noting how tastes, music, and vivid descriptions create an immersive experience for readers. Reflecting on today’s anxieties, the review acknowledges an overarching theme of hope within the poems. 

”Throughout the collection, Goodman challenges his readers to consider their personal choices and the ultimate impacts that these have on the world,” Natalie Welsh writes. “While many of the poems reflect on today’s global anxieties, there is an overarching theme of hope, such as when Goodman imagines his own children one day sharing drinks with the children of his Ukrainian and Russian friends.”
