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. I am not surprised this collection is a success.

However, the writing itself feels quite juvenile and disingenuous. There is nothing here you wouldn't find scribbled in the notebook of any love-sick teenager, the sort of poems you scrawl on last second Valentines Day cards or the sort of dribble when read in a creative writing class that makes everyone awkward and embarrassed for the presenter. Chasers of the Light, the inevitable publication of an internet success as publishers will push out anything they know can make a quick dollar even at the expense of art, is nearly too easy of a target to pick on but brings up a lot of discussion points about the artistic world. He may seem like a fraud, but this man is laughing all the way to the bank.I am so tiredof wakingto the blank canvasof morningand realizingit won't bepaintedwith youThere is nothing of substance here. Most of the poems feel like someone took the cutesy lines in a teen romance novel and added line-breaks haphazardly to call it a poem.

I'm reminded of the emotional punches of Frank O'Hara poems, lines like ' Oh God it’s wonderful / to get out of bed / and drink too much coffee / and smoke too many cigarettes / and love you so much’ have an emotional appeal but are found as a beautiful phrase within the body of a longer poem that gives reference and substance to the snippet. TKG removes the sustained beauty to give you a highlights reel of thought that falls flat without the build-up that gives his words any relevance. It’s like that Phil Collins song.

The drum breakdown seems great after minutes of building towards it, the tension increasing until it explodes in that simple drum solo. TKG is the same effect of fast forwarding to that single bar and then not finishing the song, and without the build-up the crescendo no longer sounds cool.Do you think it’s possiblethat some peopleare born to givemore lovethat they will everget backin return?I understand why these poems sell and get people all romantic and hot between the legs, but they are like being told in the opening moments of a first date ‘I love you.’ It may seem romantic but it’s also totally disingenuous and no relationship can survive when there is no substance behind it. I suspect TKG will disappear soon as there is no lasting value to his poetry beyond posting it on tumblr and instagram to show how ‘artsy’ and ‘deep’ or ‘in touch with emotions’ you are. And that is really all this is. It’s like a pair of pants that make you look cool without having to actually be cool. It’s a book to leave out so people assume you like poetry and art without having to actually put in any effort to like poetry or art. What is most troublesome is the description on the back cover that he went into a store, saw a typewriter and ‘without thinking wrote a poem.’ the man was, supposedly, suddenly hooked and couldn’t stop.

It makes it seem like art is something that just happens, not something you put effort into. It is art for the instant gratification era.Because of youI can feel myselfslowlybutsurelybecoming the meIhave always dreamedof being.I understand too why he has such a following since the man looks like he stepped out of an American Apparel add. However, all his poems reveal a man who builds his entire sense of worth based on being loved by a woman. He seems shallow himself and devoid of any substance, only feeling any self-worth if it is handed to him by another.

I feel that in his heart of hearts he must know he is a fraud. Can he truly believe he is making worthwhile art? This is the same that is said of any generic hated yet popular boy band, and I do sound like an old grump writing this, but I really wanted to get my thoughts out on how much I dislike this book.

This is why people don’t take poetry seriously. And making it accessible like this is only bastardizing it further.This is a prime example of how what is marketable takes precedence over what is valuable. This book is a best seller, which makes me sad for all the underappreciated poets who devote their souls to their craft whereas this man takes a hipster-style photograph and photoshops some typewriter text over it and gets handsomely rich. What is also disquieting is that this book is being used by a local high school for their AP English class to explore poetry. It is a real shame that we water down our ideas to make them easier to chew when there is great poetry that is also easily understood being brushed aside for the candy of poetry that this is. I fear we are cheapening education by trying to be 'hip'.

I mean, at least read Billy Collins over this guy, I don't see what value it has in a classroom. There is no poetic language and hardly a metaphor beyond how her lips and eyes are the sea. Just listen to any pop band and you'll get better words. I award a second star because at least this doesn't have the pre-pubescent rhyme schemes of Lang Leav and at least the blackout poetry looks cool (though I suspect it is also faked, as the voice is identical to his regular poetry and doesn't have the slight clunkiness that comes with the territory of blackout poetry). Skip this.1.5/5Ugh.

Review completed September 14, 2014As a highly devoted ebook reader, it's been a long time since I bought a hardcover. Yet holding this little book in my hands feels so good. All the poems and powerful pictures left their mark on me. As chance would have it, Tyler included many of my favorite poems in this collection. I loved it.I wanted to add the entire inspirational Introduction but, of course, I couldn't do that.

I guess I'm a sissy because the Introduction left me in tears. On the other hand, it's just proof how deeply touching Tyler's writing is.His considerate words are for everyone.Young people who have yet to discover what falling in love means and feels like.Wise people who have weathered many a storm and came out of their arguments stronger.People who are afraid and those who are riddled with doubt, those who have been left behind and deal with grief.Tyler's words mesmerize with their simplicity, authenticity, intimacy, beauty, and love. It’s a love for human beings as much as flora and fauna, but also a love and respect for the little things in life that we should cherish and not walk over mindlessly. Moreover, it’s also an encouragement to slow down, to pause and look inward. It’s an invitation to give and share.Chasers of the Light is a collection of unfading poems and a majority of them are wonderfully romantic.

Whispered words of comfort and wisdom have been peppered with pixie dust that will touch you, put a smile on your face and warm your heart. The miracle in the mundane brought to life in the most simple yet beautiful and intimate way: words.A great poet and author, a great photographer, and a great human being. May his words never run dry because he manages to render our world a little brighter, a little better. In this sense I'm looking forward to reading, feeling, and experiencing more stolen glances, tiny moments of grand emotions, hidden in our everyday life and brought to us by the chaser of the light.Highly recommended.Here is the link to Words For Those That Remain (not included in this collection but a personal favorite of mine). 'We are the memory keepers and the trappers of time.We, are the chasers of the light'I like words. I like the power they have.

The beauty of them. The pain they can elicit. The sadness, the joy, the fear, the ecstasy.I am unfortunately sorely lacking in the skills of stringing words together to say what I mean, what I feel. I am always long winded, can never get to the point, always editing myself, and reediting.So I truly admire anyone who has word skills, word artists if you will.

I am always long winded, can never get to the point, always editing myself, and reediting.So I truly admire anyone who has word skills, word artists if you will. Writers, poets.I also am utterly clueless about what makes something good writing or bad writing.

Good poetry or bad poetry. I can only go on how the piece of writing made me feel.This book has been on my bedside locker for the better part of the last year and I would leaf through it whenever the mood struck me and eventually finished it tonight.Some nights the poems spoke to me, other nights they felt shallow. More like pretty words but lacking in soul? In substance??It is a collection that has left me with mixed feelings. I loved the layout of the book.

The poems typed on scraps of paper using an old typewriter, the photography, the feel of the glossy pages. It made for an aesthetically pleasing layout and a tactile book. But always I was left with the feeling that that was all this book was. Aesthetically pleasing. Yet not truly nourishing of the soul???But who am I to judge?? What do I know? I have never studied literature and poetry.

Perhaps these words will speak to others. Perhaps I just don't relate to the writer and his life experiences. His words are still very beautiful. And I truly appreciate the beauty of them.three stars'I might be lost at seabut that will never meanthat I do not tilt my headback, stare up at the starsand sacrifice the salt in mytears like an offering of mymost sincere and honestgratitude for the way the waternever seems to stop rocking meback to sleep.'

There's a very particular type of poetry getting accolades these days. Let's call it, ah, Instagram poetry. Something that looks visually appealing and can fit in a small square, that seems profound or pretty at first glance, but gets derivative and repetitive real fast.

You've been tagged in these pictures poems by your friends who know you like reading: I just read this poet on Instagram. Can you believe how they capture the entire world in just a sentence? It's amazing. Sorry: it's not. Rupi Kaur is not amazing, nor is Tyler Knott Gregson, or most of the people who get Instagram famous.

Props to all who like their stuff, but come on - as poets, they're average.I also think Instagram poetry works because you read, like, one of these blurbs at a time. Because having finished this book of Knott Gregson's in a sitting, lemme tell you: it got p r e t t y repetitive. And by that I mean it had precisely three themes: 1) I LOVE YOU, MORE THAN ALL THE STARS IN THE SKY; 2) I am strong even when the winds are too (s i g h); 3) I feel so much more than everyone else.

Like 100 poems and he was repeating full phrases by the end of it. One poem was 'I miss you so much.'

Blackout poetry, man. Wow.These poems, in particular, are proudly proclaimed to be unedited. Which is, y'know, cute. It's nice to get the world of you out into something sublimated, sure, without worrying about its overall effect or integrity. But like, don't then publish a book of rambling nonsense? I don't know. I used to be more sympathetic to this kind of writing, but as I get older, I so deeply appreciate the importance of EDITING.

Nothing is perfect on the first try. Sorry, Tyler. And sure, I might be missing the point, but it's not a point being made for me.

After all, the poetry itself is quite basic: few metaphors, mostly just purged 'k but I REALLY love you though' stream-of-consciousness. A few lovely turns of phrase, but mostly just a hipster white dude talking about his hot girlfriend. I'm not into it.I see why this stuff appeals, don't get me wrong. But I also think it detracts from some of the heavier, and yeah I'll say it BETTER, work out there - and I'm not bashing Instagram or social media, okay, don't come at me with the hate comments.

There are some amazing poets using social media as an outlet and marketing tool. It's just not a great thing when Instagram so intrinsically inspires the form, which I realllllly fucking think is happening here.

I know he found a typewriter yadda yadda but come on - if the poetry were written in Times New Roman and on a plain white background, you would much more quickly start recognizing the full-on CHEESE of it all. The image is the content here, and you better have a good reason if you're doing that (and 'well, no one will like it if I don't have a gimmick' doesn't count).But I did copy down a few lines, so.there's potential, I think. I received this in a Goodreads Giveaway.I am torn about how to review this book. Being a poet myself, I found a lot of poems wanting — as in they were about middle-school, goo-goo-in-love subject matter, and not much else, and written with a similar level of poetic discipline — lots of telling instead showing, many catchphrases and over-used images, leaving me with a sort of pop music aftertaste.All that being said, the impromptu nature of the poems is admirable and incredibly brave and raw, a I received this in a Goodreads Giveaway.I am torn about how to review this book.

The artful way that the paper is chosen for each poem, to further the metaphor or symbolism of each piece is touching. Presented as a whole unit, these works are subconsciously soothing. If you plug into this book more as if you're seeing a modern art installation, and hang in for the subtle symbolism and simplicities of the presentation, you'll take more away from it than by merely focusing on the words written. Many musicians and photographers I admire recommended this, so I had to pick it up. Unfortunately, though, this book misses the mark.

The concept is interesting: a writer/photographer finds a typewriter for sale in a vintage store and decides to write spur-of-the moment poems on found pieces of paper, without the chance to edit the final product.

I just wasn't in awe of his work.Also, I give major minuses to Penguin to put out a book with no page numbers and no Index of all the poems (even if they just #'d them because the poems have no titles). So, if I loved a poem that I wanted to share with someone else who has the book, how will I refer to it?

Very unprofessional book publishing in my opinion.I don't think I would recommend this book to a friend unless they were just starting out reading poetry and hadn't been online reading any of the beautiful 'unknown' writers on social media.It was a let down for me.I preferred Warsan Shire's poetry, although the price of her book was criminal, considering the page numbers (borrow it if you can) or even Alexander Pushkin's 'Everyday Poet'.

Sometimes I think that I'm in the wrong line of work.

Some days I think about quitting my job, buying some nice slippers and a log cabin in Montana, and writing every single one of my thoughts down on paper so that my mind can finally be vacant and at peace. I just have too many thoughts. But if I ran away to become a Yeti author living in the middle of nowhere, what would I write about? Probably about that 'exciting' time when I used to be a reading teacher in the middle of nowhere.

That, and using black out to reveal the words to some of the poems, make for fun reading.The poems are revealing in themselves. I connected on many levels and some I read several times just to re-experience them.Poetry as art. Art as poetry. A joy to read. Though occasionally some of the poems were a little too saccharine for my cold, dead heart, for the most part, these were striking and evocative, with really strong moments and turns of phrase sprinkled throughout.

They're centered around the central theme of a romance (mostly), which I think will win some over and be too much for others.
