Consolations: The Solace, Nourishment and Underlying Meaning of Everyday Words de David Whyte

Consolations: The Solace, Nourishment and Underlying Meaning of Everyday Words

Autor David Whyte
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 6 noi 2019
In Consolations, David Whyte unpacks aspects of being human that many of us spend our lives trying vainly to avoid--loss, heartbreak, vulnerability, fear--boldly reinterpreting them, fully embracing their complexity, never shying away from paradox in his relentless search for meaning.

Beginning with 'Alone' and closing with 'Withdrawal', each piece in this life-affirming book is a meditation on meaning and context, an invitation to shift and broaden our perspectives on life: pain and joy, honesty and anger, confession and vulnerability, the experience of feeling overwhelmed, and the desire to run away from it all. Through this lens, procrastination may be a necessary ripening; hiding an act of freedom; and shyness something that accompanies the first stage of revelation.

Consolations invites readers into a poetic and thoughtful consideration of words, whose meaning and interpretation influence the paths we choose and the way we traverse them throughout our lives.

Notă biografică

Internationally acclaimed poet David Whyte makes his home in the Pacific Northwest, where rain and changeable skies remind him of the other, more distant homes from which he comes: Yorkshire, Wales and Ireland. He holds a degree in Marine Zoology and honorary degrees from Neumann University in Pennsylvania and Royal Roads University in Victoria, British Columbia. He is the author of nine volumes of poetry and four books of prose, as well as a collection of audio recordings.
