The Hero's Tale
       Donald P. Goodman III
       
       A very long poem at 760 (decimal 1080) lines, The
       Hero's Tale is a detailed rumination on the journey
       of the soul from pagan despair to Christian hope and finally
       to the finish, divine love.  Deeply symbolic, the poem draws
       on the traditional imagery of Western Christendom,
       particularly Gothic architecture and the
       Psychomachia, along with using a great deal of
       other traditional symbolism, especially color, time, and
       season.  Sadly, much of this imagery is
       unknown in our day; the book, therefore, presents extensive
       marginal notes identifying the sources of its imagery in
       Scripture, in artistic traditions, and so forth, along with
       explaining the meaning of the various symbols.  Originally
       published right here on Goretti
       Publications, this short booklet is a great companion to
       the poem, particularly those who want to more more about its
       deep symbolism.  31 pp., marginal notes.
