House of Belongings, the:Poems

I had another of David Whyte's books and I find his poetry so relevant and deeply expressive. The emotional descriptions of love, relationships, history, travel, nature & self awareness through life are vivid and satisfying. His language is easy and sitting with a poem for longer than it takes to read it feels like a visit with a close friend. I recommend a visit to the virtual oasis Whyte creates. Your calm state of mind 😌 will be your reward.

David Whyte explores the sense of belonging as opposed to the feeling of being alone, in a meaningful and relatable way. I will definitely read more of his work!👍🏼

Like words from the favourite Uncle you always wished for…

Poetry that must be read over and over again, its heart slowly and deeply unfolded, finding meaning and joy with each new reading. I welcome David's poems, close my eyes and let the words enter my soul, filling me with solace, erasing doubt, reassuring me that I am not alone. He writes poetry so that we ordinary humans can be understood. We are seen, we are consoled, his words balm for the soul.

I love the protective cover on the original white paperback. I really resonate to David Whyte poems. His writing touches my soul.
