David Whyte

Poems, essays and commentaries as well as insights from my Three Sundays Series.

David is one of my favorite poet/philosophers—and he’s a current resident of our glorious state here in the Pacific Northwest. His poetry and prose is relevant, wise, practical, and needed. Every time I read one of his selections, my Soul is nourished. And it’s even better to hear him read a poem aloud for his unique form of recitation AND his endearing, lilting accent.

Poetry Unbound

By Pádraig Ó Tuama

Open your world with poetry

Padraig O’Tauma manages this site, a spin off from Krista Tippett’s OnBeing (HIGHLY RECOMMEND!). Padraig’s soulful approach to language and interpretation has enriched my life immensely. His book, by the same name, is essential reading for poetry-loving soul seekers/finders.
