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. @whytedw | davidwhyte.com

I know I will' - ELIZABETH GILBERT author of EAT PRAY LOVE 'Consolations, it bears repeating, is an absolutely magnificent read - the kind that reorients your world and remains a compass for a lifetime' - MARIA POPOVA 'We think we know what we are talking about, the meaning of things, the basic rules of language, until we read David Whyte's Consolations where we are forced to reassess everything and begin again. Such an essential and beautiful book' - NICK CAVE 'A word can know you better than you know yourself and I did not fully understand this until I read Consolations. It is an immensely powerful book.
