Publisher Description
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.

chasers of the light
on my second read of this, years later, i don’t think about it the same way i did then.
i don’t really like to rate poetry, beauty is in the eye of the beholder and all that, but this doesn’t really feel like poetry. at least not in the traditional sense.
it just feels more like someone has put together a collection of tumblr writing posts and called it a day.
the photographs are a nice touch, though.
