"I overheard the man whisper, 'I am a lover not a fighter,' and to myself I thought, I am in fact both. For is it love at all if it's not worth fighting for?"

thanks for puncturing my heart.

the uniqueness of this.

the photography.

not all the poems were for me but they were all terribly and heartbreakingly good. ( )

Gorgeous and romantic. ( )

Amazingly beautiful. ( )

I read very little poetry, but I love poems by Tyler Gregson. He touches my heart, makes me think and makes me feel. Such beautiful use of words, and so accessible. ( )

I thoroughly enjoyed this book. I don't usually read books of poetry. I have myself pigeon-holed as a fiction girl, but now I'm wondering what I've missed. I intended to read a poem or two per day from this book. I wanted to savor it over time. It did not work out that way. I found myself reading one and then thinking, "just one more," which then progressed to, "just one more" and "just one more" and... you get the picture. Before I knew it, I had devoured the thing in 2 days. At first I thought, "What a lovely coincidence that I read this now. I really needed so many of these poems." But, then, I realized it's not a coincidence; I could have read this book at any time and the poems would have been "just what I needed." Most of them are about love. They burst with intensity and fullness. There's also a sense of hope and strength and perseverance that weaves throughout. The author is obviously a sensitive guy and we sensitive people need lots of hope and strength and perseverance to make it in the world. I've already started following him on Facebook so I can get a regular fix of his thoughts and poems. I can't get enough. ( )
