The New York Times called Mr. Gregson “the literary equivalent of a unicorn: a best-selling celebrity poet.” His latest collection recently “… hit No. 3 on Nielsen s top 10 best-selling poetry titles, ahead of Dante, Homer, Seamus Heaney and Khalil Gibran.”

The author is also a professional photographer and multimedia artist who started his writing career as a humble freelance copywriter.

His love of words, vintage typewriters, and photography have combined to inspire a new digital art form.

Tyler boasts over 500,000 social media followers that have translated into two bestselling volumes of poetry with a third on the way.
