Pilgrim (Revised) (Revised) [Whyte, David] on desertcart.com. *FREE* shipping on qualifying offers. Pilgrim (Revised) (Revised) Review: Lyrical poetry at its best - I have read other books of poetry by David Whyte, and enjoyed those too. Curious about how he would write about the Camino, which I too have traveled, I bought this volume of his work. Enchanting stories from his life populate the pages. I recommend it for anyone who likes the play of words in a poem, and especially if you know of the Camino. Review: The Gift of Poetry and Poets - David Whyte's poetry is a must-read for me. I was excited to hear he had a new book out along with an accompanying CD. Hearing his read his poems, and talk about he story behind their writing is a wonderful experience. My husband, who never liked poetry, until he heard David Whyte speak said that if every high school had a poet like David Whyte talk about poetry that everyone would love poetry. I concur.

Lyrical poetry at its best
I have read other books of poetry by David Whyte, and enjoyed those too. Curious about how he would write about the Camino, which I too have traveled, I bought this volume of his work. Enchanting stories from his life populate the pages. I recommend it for anyone who likes the play of words in a poem, and especially if you know of the Camino.

The Gift of Poetry and Poets
David Whyte's poetry is a must-read for me. I was excited to hear he had a new book out along with an accompanying CD. Hearing his read his poems, and talk about he story behind their writing is a wonderful experience. My husband, who never liked poetry, until he heard David Whyte speak said that if every high school had a poet like David Whyte talk about poetry that everyone would love poetry. I concur.

we all make the path by walking
This is a wonderful collection of poems - thoughtful, reflective, and embracing of the pilgrimages we all find ourselves on. My introduction to them was on a companion audio CD where David Whyte gave a commentary on the background to the poems - it is profound!

Living as a Spiritual Pilgrim
David Whyte's poetry and prose derive from his living life as a spiritual pilgrim so that we can walk a mile in his shoes.

Eye Opener
I was lamenting to my sister one day that I missed the writers, essayists and poets of our youth. She told me of David and sent a video of him reciting an excerpt of his "Opening of Eyes." It certainly opened my eyes. Pilgrim is the first work of David's I've purchased. I enjoyed it and felt an ancient kindred with the spirit of his work. I'd like to thank David for the beauty and promise he has revealed to me and highly recommend this collection.

Great Poet
Purchased this as a gift and I was happy when I received same as a Christmas present. I had the opportunity to hear Whyte read his poems at the Wakeup Festival this summer. He made them even more alive.

His words are royal
David Whyte draws expression from words the way Arthur drew the sword from the stone. I highly recommend this and other poetry by Whyte. For a more deeply introspective approach to work, your mate and the self try the Three Marriages by Whyte. You will not be disappointed.

Palabras que bailan y dan caricias al espíritu. Hermoso y más hermoso. Perfecto para el Pilgrim, ese viajero que se adentra a la vida y vive sus colores con cada paso que da. Recomiendadisimo, me inspiró mucho para escribir algunos poemas y dedicarlos.

The perfect book for someone who has walked the Camino, or simply walks the world inhabited by the spirit of the pilgrim. Love David Whyte and his voice. Quick delivery much appreciated! Book has very slight bend/warp in one corner.

Since buying the book, I have heard David speak about several of these poems putting them in context and delving deep into the words; they come even more strongly into life.
