What happens when language reaches beyond what we think we can say? David Whyte—poet, philosopher, and performer—joins Guy Kawasaki for a wide-ranging conversation about poetry, vulnerability, creativity, and the words that shape our lives. Whyte traces his unlikely journey from marine zoology in the Galápagos back to the poetry he began writing as a child, and explains why good poetry isn't something to understand so much as an experience to enter. He also shares the stories behind his poems and the provocative ideas in his new book, Consolations II. Along the way, he offers a powerful reminder that what we struggle to articulate may be exactly where our deepest insight begins.
