Review of I, Flagpole
Clever mixing of voices from the last millennium that feels timely right this minute. This has an Alice in Wonderland feel...whoa, what’s all this? The words and phrases batting around felt oddly comforting to me. Being reminded of the flag’s connection to our beautiful right to opine in a time of “homeland security,” is a good thing. Not standard fare, this tickled my brain and left the phrase "free speech" sounding loud and proud in my ears. sl
