The epic made simple. The miracle in the mundane.

One day, while browsing an antique store in Helena, Montana, photographer Tyler Knott Gregson stumbled upon a vintage Remington typewriter for sale. Standing up and using a page from a broken book he was buying for $2, he typed a poem without thinking, without planning, and without the ability to revise anything.

He fell in love.

Three years and almost one thousand poems later, Tyler is now known as the creator of the Typewriter Series: a striking collection of poems typed onto found scraps of paper or created via blackout method. Chasers of the Light features some of his most insightful and beautifully worded pieces of work—poems that illuminate grand gestures and small glimpses, poems that celebrate the beauty of a life spent chasing the light.

Chasers of the Light, Tyler Knott Gregson, typewriter series

Editorial Reviews

Review

“A collection of poems that evoke consistent inspiration and lasting resonance.”
—Literary Inklings

“Your heart will be stoked.”
—Christina Perri, singer/songwriter

"Gregson is clearly a romantic... His words slip past the defenses of even the most bitter, with boarded-up hearts and cynical minds, reminding readers why we love, yearn for connection, and bare our souls."
—The Hiding Spot

“Like many people I know, I fell in love with Tyler Knott Gregson’s poetry via Instagram. Maybe it’s the allure of his Typewriter Series (awesome poems and quotes typed on vintage-looking parchment paper) or the fact that he posts just about every day so people always have something to see, but in the end I think it’s his raw talent for striking the chords of emotion within us that keep us coming back”
—The Blonde Vegan
 
“His Haikus inspire in their simplicity because it has become rare to find beauty in the mundane. His poems are capturing in their tone and in the way he utilizes his words. His photography is simply breathtaking, to say the least.”
—The Society Cynic
 
“There are writers and poets who just get it. Then, there are writers and poets who are so on point, you have no choice but to feel like maybe they've been reading your diary. If you're an avid Tumblr user, or just a fan of knowing you're not alone, you might be familiar with the work of Tyler Knott Gregson. Not only is Gregson a well-versed poet (pun intended) but he's also an incredible artist, photographer and has a big heart for charity.”
—Buzznet
 
“With over 30,000 Facebook fans and more than 100,000 Tumblr followers, Gregson has definitely hit a nerve with his short-yet-poignant pieces. In an age of goofy Vine videos, memes and Instagram dinner-plate photos, poetry seems an unlikely addition to the community of web shares and posts. Gregson’s poetry, though, isn’t about flashy design or snappy humor. To read the comments on his blog and Facebook pages, it’s plain to see that his words genuinely resonate with his fans.”
—Elsewhere NYC
 
“I LOVE THIS!  I follow Tyler Knott Gregson on Twitter and Tumblr. He’s amazingly talented!”
—Feeding My Addiction Book Reviews
 
“His poetry always catches me a bit off-guard and makes me reflect – which is why I like it so much. If you need a dose of romantic and moving poetry in your life, I highly recommend you follow this guy.”
—Eryn Faye
 
“I read page after page, and I hope you take the time to do the same. That way we all can tell our children, as they reads his words from their textbooks, that we were among the lucky ones who first happened upon Tyler Knott Gregson not long after his tumblr days. This man. Him and his words are remarkable. I would tip my figurative hat to you, sir, but even that seems to small of a gesture to express myself.”
—Just Another Silly Dreamer

“Forget having a guy quote me Shakespeare or Neruda, find me a guy who can quote Gregson. He’d have me hook, line, and sinker.”
—Belle of the Library
 
“Gregson's Chasers of the Light is a beautiful little book that will make you feel something.”
—Pretty In Fiction
 
“…gorgeous from cover to cover.”
—Savvy Verse & Wit
 
“I would give this book to anyone I'd like to convince to start reading poetry.”
—Book Dilettante
 
 “Beautifully done and a fresh and creative voice in poetry.”
—Stories & Sweeties
 
“Please read this book, especially if you’re new to poetry because it’s a great first introduction.”
—I Blog, You Read
 
“Gregson writes some of the most beautiful, romantic, and thought-provoking poetry I have ever read.”
—Girls Writes Reviews
 
“I wanted to kiss the book and place it somewhere, not just toss it into a ready to pass on pile.”
—Maria’s Space
 
“This is hands down, no doubt about it, the most beautifully written piece of work I’ve read this year.”
—The Paige-Turner

Great book to add not only on your bookshelf but also to your life! Feel the love in every line!
I fell in love with this book when I read the first page... I have to admit that I was impressed, just because most of the love poetry That I read these days tend to sound cliché, but this one made my broken heart feel full of love all over again. Beautiful lines, well put together!

I would buy ten more copies of this and give to friends if I had the funds. Yes, it is THAT good. Such a beautiful piece of ART. And yes poetry IS ART. - The author has a way of piecing together words and phrases in such a way that you feel it to your core. An amazing book. Ten gazillion out of ten. 10000000/10

5.0 out of 5 stars Great poetry, artistic presentation
Reviewed in the United States on July 4, 2023
Verified Purchase
I bought this book for myself years ago, and have gifted it a number of times since. I find the poetry easy to connect to and very moving, and the artistry of the presentation is inspired. Everyone I have given it to speaks highly of it, too. I’ve purchased other books from this author, all of which are great, but this is a favorite in my whole collection. One of the books I find myself opening most often, in any variety of moods, where I can usually find at least one poem that beautifully lays out the words that I couldn’t find on my own.

5.0 out of 5 stars Beautiful
Reviewed in the United States on September 5, 2014

I feel like I was meant to buy this book of poetry. Writing simply and clearly and with so much meaning, Tyler Knott Gregson has inspired me to begin to write the poetry that lives in me...again. Each page brings so many new emotions, blended feelings that take you through the mind and heart of the writer and even through your own life (many of us don't stop to do this these days). Each poem is so beautifully written. I believe the description of his own writing in the book's introduction is wholly accurate. Powerfully warm, sweetly haunting pieces. I can think of several people in my life who will be uplifted my receiving "Chasers of the Light" as a gift. Ordering more copies...after I read it all once again...

5.0 out of 5 stars Beautiful book
Reviewed in the United States on July 30, 2019
Verified Purchase
Worth every penny. Must censor by stating I’ve never read it myself. But I bought it for my wife who is a picky reader. Now, she keeps this book in her purse. Something will happen, or she’ll have a sudden thought and pull out her book, go to a random page and read the “poem of the day”, as she calls it, out loud to me or the children. Every single one I’ve heard has been beautiful. We’ve enjoyed breaking them down on long car rides and telling stories about experiences of which a poem reminds us.

5.0 out of 5 stars Short poems that pack a punch
Reviewed in the United States on August 4, 2021
Verified Purchase
I started this one months ago, and just now finishing this. I love the clever way he uses different media to feature his poetry ( pages of old books, backs of grocery receipts, invoices, etc) it makes the poems feel personal and intimate. Most of Tyler's poems are love poems, but there's also some observations and a few odds to nature. I've been to Montana once, Missoula. It is pretty country. Nice to read poetry that is passionate and thoufhtful

I bought Wildly for myself first. Then I decided to buy Chaser and (another) Wildly for my niece. We both struggle with depression. These poems cover the truth of both emotional times. Wildly speaks the truth of depression and Chaser the promise of the light after depression. Really lovely.

5.0 out of 5 stars All you need is love and Tyler Knott Gregson!
Reviewed in the United States on September 5, 2014

I believe things come into our lives for a reason. Three years ago, Tyler's poetry came into my life when I needed a sign for hope and courage. Recently divorced I had trouble believing in love. Broken, shattered, and bitter Tyler's words breathed fresh air into my worn out soul. I called my ex and shared his words knowing this would help us heal. Three years later we still find joy sharing Tyler's words and photos. Knowing how thrilled she would be, I purchased this book for her. We read it together. Tyler's poetry has given us courage to believe and to love. Something neither of us thought would be possible after the divorce. We have moved on with our lives and are happier as friends. I hope one day soon she will find love again and that she will get the three things she wants the most on her wedding day. The first, marrying a man that truly loves her, the second, an original Tyler Knott Gregson poem to commemorate the wedding, and lastly to have Tyler capture the first moments of her new life.
Tyler, thank you for sharing your words and photos with us. This book of poetry is a must read for everyone. Do yourself a favor and read this book and then go to Tyler's website and read the rest of his poems, haiku's, and black out poetry. Your life will be richer, and fuller.

Un insieme di foto e poesie aggraziate, eleganti e positive. Anche le più malinconiche o nostalgiche hanno un sottofondo di piaceri e gioie passate, che trovo rincuorante. Prenderò altri libri di Gregson, perché mi sono ufficialmente innamorata del suo stile.

This book was not AT ALL what I expected...it was so much more! I am a huge fan of Tyler Knott Gregson. I own the prints, pin the pins, follow on all medias. I know what his poetry reads like. I know what his poetry feels like. What I did not know was what it would look like in the format of a book and how that book would make me fall in love with his words all over again. To own a collection, with a beautiful hardcover and gorgeous glossy pages full of color, photography and prints of his originals is wonderful. It is a mini coffee table book that you want to leave out for all your guests to peruse and touch and absorb all its glowing contents. It is the perfect size to add to your bookshelf for you to pull out and lift your spirits when your heart feels heavy and you just need a lift. It may even fit in your bag to carry with you everywhere you go because you just want to introduce the world to this book and share the passion of its work! It is beautiful, it is complex, it is simple, it is love.
