Description

What does it mean to think, to imagine, to create, to be? Why do we believe what we do? Is death an ontological state of being, or is it a grammar error? What exactly is poetry? The varied writings in Jeffery Donaldson's Viaticum explore life's most basic questions-and its biggest illusions-from the nature of language to the rhetorical potential of the afterlife.
