This represents one of the more accessible collections I've read in 2012. I enjoy how Whyte divided the book into themed sections. I particularly liked those on Friends and Marriage. The poem on 9/11 very good too. No spoilers here, but he shovels up the mundane dirt revealing good soil for his flowering poems. So much nature and human interaction. A lot of self reflection and how I fit into this world of noise.
A wonderful book to read around Christmas (or any time).

A friend recommended this poet, who is Irish but lives nearby on Whidbey Island. I can never read a whole book of poems for some reason, but I loved the ones I did read and want to read more.
His love of words, and deep humanity, make David Whyte a tremendously moving poet. He writes truthfully. Beautiful work.
I absolutely love this. Amazing work from a modern poet rooted in the classics.
i love david whyte's poetry!

Great poet!!!!
Shot through the heart
reading again
A beautiful book of poetry. David Whyte has the unique ability to capture the "otherness" and magnitude of the spiritual realm through understated language and contemplative observances of nature and the wilderness. It seemed fitting to read his work while sitting outside in the woods on a beautiful autumn afternoon.
This book was given to me by a friend who said that it reminded him of my poetry. That's flattering, but highly unlikely. Whyte writes in a melodic and flowing tone that connects the human spirit to the natural world. These are poems of hope; indeed "everything is waiting for you."
