About the Author
David Whyte is an Anglo-Irish poet and philosopher. He has said that all of his poetry and philosophy are based on 'the conversational nature of reality'. Whyte grew up with a strong imaginative influence from his Irish mother, among the hills and valleys of his father's Yorkshire. He now makes his home in the Pacific Northwest of the United States. The internationally acclaimed author of twelve books of poetry and four books of prose, David Whyte holds a degree in Marine Zoology and has travelled extensively, including living and working as a naturalist guide in the Galapagos Islands and leading expeditions in the Andes, Amazon and Himalayas. He is a founder of Invitas: The Institute for Conversational Leadership and brings his wealth of experience to his poetry, lectures and workshops, speaking to audiences around the planet. He is the recipient of two honorary degrees.

Hardback. Condition: New. Main. 'Great poems,' David Whyte has said, 'are not about experience, but are the experience itself, felt in the body.' Essentials is a collection of his own best poems, each in their way about capturing the experience itself, whether that is in the daily shifts, the ever-turning seasons or the bigger cycle of gain and grief that are part of our journey through life. Each poem is accompanied by a short context on where and when it was written. Together they form an elegant testament to David Whyte's most closely-held understanding - that human life cannot be apportioned out as one thing or another; rather, it is best seen as a living conversation, a way between and beyond, made beautiful by darkness as well as light, at its essence both deeply solitary and profoundly communal. This updated edition includes poems from his 2021 collection, Still Possible. Seller Inventory # LU-9781838858124
