Chasers of the Light

I would love to say that you make me weak at the knees, but to be quite upfront and completely truthful, you make my body forget it has knees at all. 
 
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.

Tyler Knott Gregson is a poet, author, professional photographer and artist who lives in the mountains of Montana, USA. When he is not writing, he operates his photography company, Treehouse Photography, with his talented partner, Sarah Linden.

I'll be your deep breath, 
I'll be your simple relief. 
I'll be home to you. 
 
Every day for the past six years, Tyler Knott Gregson has written a simple haiku about love and posted it online. These heartfelt poems have spoken to readers around the world, and won Tyler a large and loyal following. Now, in All the Words Are Yours - the follow-up to the US bestseller Chasers of the Light - this startlingly honest, vulnerable and moving new voice presents his favourites among those haiku. Some are previously unpublished; all are accompanied by his signature photographs, reproduced in gorgeous full colour. Together, they capture the textures of daily life and extraordinary love through the eyes of a man truly present in each moment.
