A collection of inspiring poems and essays
edited by Gayle Karen Young

In addition to works written over a span of many years, plus one new poem and one new essay, the book contains David’s personal reflections for many of the pieces, providing deeper context to its meaning. The collection forms an elegant testament to Whyte’s most closely-held understanding - that human life cannot be apportioned out as one thing or another; rather, it is best lived as a conversation, a way between and beyond, made beautiful by darkness as well as light, at its essence both deeply solitary and profoundly communal. 

This book is, in many ways, a celebration of the wider circle of friendship that is our birthright. It is in wishing to deepen and make more intimate and to live into and up to the consequences of that rich relationship with our world and our astonishing planet, and in posing all the beautiful questions that this world asks of us, that much of this work has been written.
