“In Dan Fleshler’s book, as the speaker, “I,” recounts his experiences and dilemmas, we are immediately immersed in his life and transformed, asking the same questions, battling the same demons. When he admits, “I have no idea/how to keep my heart/pried wide open all the time,” we nod as if we have just declared this very thing. And yet, “I” figures it out, and therefore so do we: “just stand, just look, /letting the very occasionally/marvelous world/speak for itself.” Do yourself the honor of listening.”
