“Poetry does not sell, some publishers insist—more’s the pity because poetry is the spice of life. So bravo to Resource Publications for making Allen Goddard’s WayPoems more widely known. Allen is a genuine pilgrim who not only travels mindfully but also reflects deeply and is able to capture his journaling in evocative metaphors, rhymes, and rhythms that enrich and inspire.”
