ESSENTIALS (HB)

'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 one in its way capturing experience of the daily shifts, the ever-turning seasons, or the bigger cycle of gain and grief in our journey through life. Each poem is accompanied by a short text on where and when it was written. This updated edition includes poems from his 2021 collection, Still Possible.
