David Whyte
Poet, author and naturalist whose work reflects a deep connection to the natural world.

David Whyte, a native of Yorkshire, England, is a poet, author and naturalist, whose poetry reflects a living spirituality and a deep connection to the natural world. The author of six books of poetry and three books of prose, David Whyte holds a degree in Marine Zoology and has traveled extensively, including living and working as a naturalist guide in the Galapagos Islands and leading anthropological and natural history expeditions in the Andes, the Amazon and the Himalayas. His life as a poet has created a readership and listenership in three normally mutually exclusive areas: the literate world of readings that most poets inhabit, the psychological and theological worlds of philosophical enquiry and the world of vocation, work and organizational leadership.
