A poetic celebration embracing our unfinished, imperfect, and authentic selves.

The Never Was, the latest collection from best-selling poet Tyler Knott Gregson, marks a poignant return after nearly five years since his last book. Known for his typewritten poetry and heartfelt reflections, Gregson delves deeper than ever before, embracing vulnerability and authenticity.

The title is inspired by a series of poetry fragments—bits and pieces that never found their way into complete poems. But after being diagnosed as Autistic in adulthood, Gregson discovered that these fragments held deeper meaning. They were more than just discarded lines; they were lifelines, offering solace during difficult days and capturing experiences that resonate deeply with anyone who identifies as neurodivergent.

These raw, unpolished pieces appear alongside brand-new poems, creating a mosaic of thoughts and emotions that celebrate the power of the unfinished and the unrefined. This collection is an invitation for readers to embrace their own complexities, to find beauty in the pieces of themselves they once deemed unworthy, and to remember that every “never was” holds the potential to become something extraordinary.
