Work that lacks the murky qualities of much poetry

We owe a debt of gratitude to David Whyte for work which lacks the obscure, murky, digressive qualities often associated with poetry and which are responsible for turning large segments of the reading public away from quality literature.

A spectacularly simple and powerful collection of poems.

This collection of poems is fresh, frank, and powerful, invoking a few elements of the classic American poetry tradition yet clearly establishing its own thoroughly modern style.Whyte's images are crystal-clear and profound without being tritely symbolic. I especially liked the way he uses images from nature, almost...
