In David Whyte's third book of poetry, he explores the element of fire, its presence in the earth as well as ourselves, even in stillness. Containing the popular poems, Self Portrait, The Soul Lives Contented and Revelation Must be Terrible, the book traverses internal and external landscapes with evocative imagery, insight into the deepest patterns of human life, and the sure, elemental voice that has made David beloved as a poet and speaker around the world.
