Wildly Into the Dark: Typewriter Poems and the Rattlings of a Curious Mind by Tyler Knott Gregson
4.0
They asked me what poetry was,
and as few things have,
it stole my speech for a moment.
All I could think to say
was that poetry
is taking an ache
and making it
sing.
I tried not to love this collection, but here I am.
Like all of his work, this collection is raw and heartfelt. Tyler Knott Gregson has no problem cutting himself open and showing the reader his innards. All the messy ugliness and all his flaws. While I severally dislike the phraseology "voice of a generation", Gregson is certainly talented if anything.
