Whyte turns his eye, and his pen, to the possibilities and harvests this shaping reveals: the shyness and vulnerability of love, the illusion of imperfection, and the new invitations that beckon along the way. The poems reflect an abiding faith in time's wisdom: a journey turned away from in youth waits patiently for later maturity; an early experience ripens in secret to reveal, decades later, a full understanding. Under Whyte's poet-philosopher gaze, a rain-soaked day in an Irish farmhouse becomes a meditation on the essence of a truly good day: a settled contentment, alert and open to whatever may call. Plus, sheep, Seamus Heaney and a dog. Powerful language rests on a foundation of what isn't said, a silence underpinning the eloquence of articulation. In this way, Still Possible hovers above the numinous and the unknowable - what we pray for, what we pass on, what mystery awaits and, in the end, what it might mean to be happy.\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cem\u003eDimensions\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e0.49\" H x 6.91\" L x 4.46\" W, 156 pages, paperback\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Many Rivers Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42558757470433,"sku":"9781932887556","price":18.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0562\/9558\/8015\/products\/1W6A3522.jpg?v=1655758768","url":"https:\/\/pressshopatl.shop\/products\/still-possible-david-whyte","provider":"Pressshopatl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
