Yorkshire Publishes Interview with Debut Poet


In coordination with the release of Faraway Tables, the debut collection of poetry by author Eric D. Goodman, Yorkshire Publishing has published an interview with the poet and author. 

Faraway Tables offers a captivating exploration of memory, human connection, and the ever-changing world we navigate.

The interview covers such topics as the inspiration behind the collection, what readers should expect to experience when reading the poems, and what other authors or books have inspired the book and the writing  journey.

"I'd like readers to find poems in Faraway Tables that they can relate to, that they can feel a connection with," Eric said. "Those "a-ha" moments when a reader nods or smiles or thinks, "I know that feeling" or "I've been there."

Poets and readers are taking their places at the table. Today's endorsement comes from Hezekiah Scretch, poetry editor for Fleas on the Dog Literary Journal. Scretch writes:

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

It’s Here! Celebrate Release Day with Faraway Tables!

Join us at the table for a grand celebratory feast! Today, October 1, marks the official release of Faraway Tables, my highly anticipated debut poetry collection.

This captivating exploration of memory, human connection, and the ever-changing world we navigate has garnered praise from fellow poets and reviewers alike.

Barbara DeCesare describes the collection as a “thoughtful exploration of a world nearly out of grasp,” touching on aging, the impact of the pandemic, and the search for meaning in a changing world.

Kim Gek Lin Short calls Faraway Tables “a postpandemic Lost and Found” and highlights the evocative language and the bittersweet beauty of nostalgia.

Dianna Nikaido described the poems as “condensed journeys reminding us of what shapes us.”

Hezekiah Scretch, poetry editor for Fleas on the Dog Literary Journal, described the poems as “playful, erudite, perceptive. Norman Rockwell in words.”

Prepare to be surprised, delighted, and perhaps a little homesick for places you've never been. The poems of Faraway Tables traverse continents and cultures, weaving a tapestry of experiences that resonate on a universal level.

Don't miss out! Reserve your place at the table! Order your copy of Faraway Tables today from your favorite bookstore or online retailer. You can also order directly from the publisher here or at Amazon.
