Poet Tyler Knott Gregson Explores His Creative Process – from Haiku to Song

Poet, photographer, and avid traveler Tyler Knott Gregson just released his fifth book, Miracle in the Mundane, but reaching this accomplishment doesn’t mean he’s about to take a break. Besides creating a Spotify playlist (below) in honor of the book’s release, he’s currently planning a destination wedding in Scotland with his fiancé, exploring what he might want to record a podcast about and, somewhere in between, making time to read The Overstory, a novel from the point of view of trees. Every day he also finds the time to write one of his daily haikus on love, which he’s been publishing on Tumblr (and now Instagram) for over a decade.

We chatted with an ever energized Tyler about the complexities of telling short stories, why he photographs his written work, and how he is eternally inspired by the world.
