"Taste" and "Thanks for the Socks" in Fleas on the Dog

 

My Faraway Tables poems "Taste" and "Thanks for the Socks" were featured in Fleas on the Dog, an online literary  journal. Praised for their light touch and detailed observation, the editor likened my work to Norman Rockwell in words, noting the playfulness and perceptiveness in my writing.

“Eric D. Goodman writes with such a light hand. He sees endearing details in everyday happenstances—playful, erudite, perceptive. Norman Rockwell in words.”
