Gregson publishes his daily poems on his website, tylerknott.com. He’s also got more than 30,000 followers on Pinterest.

Producer Clay Scott voiced and mixed this piece, one of more than 180 he’s produced for his series of fascinating people and places, Mountain West Voices. You could do much worse than to take a deep dive into Clay’s archives at mountainwestvoices.org. You can also find and navigate his work at PRX.
