Editorial Reviews

Product Description
David Whyte's body of work reflects the depth and breadth of a maturing artist, taking its readers on a passage through time and place, allowing us to bear witness to the constellation of difficulties, triumphs, adventures, losses, hopes and revelations that have shaped one particular human life. RIVER FLOW contains over one hundred poems selected from five previously published works, together with twenty-three new poems, including a tribute to an Ethiopian woman navigating her first escalator, a meditation of love and benediction for his young daughter, and a cycle of Irish poems that convey his deep love of the land and life-long appreciation for its wisdom. Within its covers are poems to be read and reread, poems that are sure to become companions on our own passage through the turbulent waters of a well-lived, well-loved life.

About the Author
David Whyte makes his home in the Pacific Northwest, where rain and changeable skies remind him of his other, more distant homes: Yorkshire, Wales and Ireland. He travels and lectures throughout the world, bringing his own and others' poetry to large audiences. He holds a degree in Marine Zoology, and is an Associate Fellow of Templeton College and the Said Business School at the University of Oxford. David Whyte is the author of six volumes of poetry and two best-selling books of prose: "Crossing the Unknown Sea: Work as a Pilgrimage of Identity" and "The Heart Aroused: Poetry and the Preservation of the Soul in Corporate America," as well as an audio lecture series.

5.0 out of 5 stars Breathtaking, deeply moving, June 9, 2007
By FayeLux "Faye" (Burnaby BC) - See all my reviews
About ten years ago, a book of David's poetry literally fell of a bookshelf into my hands and had exactly the right poem in it for what I was going through at the time. Whyte's ability to reach into the heart and soul of whatever he is writing about is simply breathtaking. Needless to say, I was delighted to discover this collection of his writings. His works are beautifully crafted and rich with the kind of imagery and emotion that will stay with you.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Body of Work to Enlighten..., July 7, 2007
I've had the pleasure of working with David Whyte in several workshops and it's such a thrill to see this compilation finally on the market! David's poems are quite powerful and are each works of beauty that move the soul in a very profuond way. This book contains his best work, including many new poems that will find their way into your heart. Get this book, but also check out his other volumes of poetry as well--you'll benefit greatly from his collected works!

4.0 out of 5 stars David Whyte is my new inspiration, December 7, 2007
By Renee Evanoff "curly horse lover" (Paradise Valley, Montana) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I first discovered David Whyte while attending a workshop in Hawai'i. We watched a video of his presentation before a large corporate audience of "Heart Aroused." I had never heard poetry read in that way before. I was instantly drawn in. I must say that the only thing better than reading his works is hearing him in person. His audio CD's are amazing. I listen to him while I drive the 2 hours to the nearest big town in Montana. He inspires deep thinking and the desire for knowledge of self and the universe we live in.
