The Irrationalist is the acclaimed follow-up to the award-winning poetry collection, Past Imperfect, from one of Canada''s best poets. At once whimsical and heartbreaking, these eccentric lyrics investigate the shifting grounds of knowledge while refusing to take any authority - be it Epictetus, Therese de Lisieux, Nicolaus Copernicus, Ma Yuan, or the fugitive spectre of self, to name only a few of the volume''s dramatis personae - too seriously.
