| Description: | Select Guide Rating The author of Consolations collects his best poetry and offers a deep-dive into the significance each one holds ''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. |
