In addition to works written over a span of many years, plus one new poem and one new essay, the book contains David s personal reflections for many of the pieces, providing deeper context to its meaning. In some ways an artistic representation of a close circle of companionship to the work and to the man : edited by his wife, and designed and typeset by close friends Edward Wates and John Nielson, the book forms 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 lived 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. Review: Beautiful writer. Great poetry book. - I first heard David Whyte on Sam Harris’ Waking Up app, and was taken aback at how beautifully he read his own writing. His poetry is beautifully inciteful about the human experience. Book arrived undamaged in a timely fashion. Review: Nice Print Quality, Quite Challenging (in a good way) - It's strange how we stereotype things, even writing or literature. Poetry is often supposed to be one of those "soft" genres of writing, not on the intellectual level of the "serious" tomes spanning 100s of pages about politics or science or the topic of the day. This book reminds me of how wrong that mindset is. Poetry isn't just flowery language and fluff. It can be deeply intellectual, even difficult to register at first. It can challenge you to understand; find a new way of looking at and describing things in life that our modern "give it to me in a text or tweet" minds are no longer accustomed to. Poetry of the kind found in this book, I think, is more akin to formal philosophy or even psychology, than what one might traditionally expect. It's going to take me many re-readings and some real thought, to really understand what I'm seeing on the page. And I'm OK with that. I may not go right out and buy 3 more poetry books, but I'm glad I got this one. Something different and definitely recommended if you find your readings are always in the realm of the academic or pure fantasy. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #119,853 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #114 in British & Irish Poetry #756 in Poetry Themes & Styles (Books) #2,686 in Philosophy (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.8 out of 5 stars 780 Reviews | ## Images ![David Whyte Essentials - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71dEXT3MHiL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Beautiful writer.
