The title of David Whyte's fifth volume of poetry is an apt description of its contents. Everything, he points out, is indeed waiting for us, including our own demise and the demise of those we love. In less eloquent hands, this wisdom might feel burdensome, but in Whyte's language and imagery, these poems convey the beauty inherent in impermanence. Its second chapter, Thresholds, charts the experience of death of a loved one, and Friends, Marriage, Chances and Returns celebrate and explore the relationships, including the relationship with ourself, that accompany us along the journey, for however short or long we're given. Review: Exceptionally beautiful. Especially recommended if you are dealing with grief/death. - I love the cover. Exquisite writing with strong evocative imagery. Some of the most beautiful yet approachable poems I have ever read. Strongly recommend. It is really worth it to get the book to enjoy the flow of the poetry from one section to the next. Vs. just a collection that includes some of the poems from this book. Review: Beautiful imagery - I loved the words in this book by David Whyte. I bought this after hearing him interviewed on the On Being podcast and was not at all disappointed. His words paint a picture and many emotions as he gently draws you into the present moment.

David Whyte
Timing of this book was amazing. A mother's death...he captures so completely what people feel and instantly recognize. Available to all readers. If you know someone dragging their feet to open a book of poetry - any David Whyte may change their minds. A truly life-changing writer.

Philosophy and poetry in a nutshell
I was first exposed to Everything Is Waiting For You, the poem itself, as recited by David Whyte himself and it transformed my outlook on life. I am slowly reading through this work and liking it.

A Nice Book
The artwork on the front cover is beautiful. I like David Whytes work especially the Poem Everything is waiting for You. It’s a thin book only 102 pages with many poems of his that I haven’t read yet.
