Description
A poetic celebration embracing our unfinished, imperfect, and authentic selves.
The Never Was is a deeply personal return from bestselling poet Tyler Knott Gregson. Known for his intimate typewritten verse, Gregson turns inward with raw honesty, reflecting on identity, diagnosis, and the quiet beauty in the incomplete.
Prompted by a late-in-life autism diagnosis, Gregson revisits a series of poetic fragments—unfinished lines once cast aside—that now reveal themselves as essential expressions of his neurodivergent experience. Interwoven with new poems, these pieces form a deeply human tapestry of vulnerability, self-discovery, and grace.
This is a book for anyone who has felt unseen, misunderstood, or like they didn’t quite fit. The Never Was is a celebration of the imperfect, a testament to the healing power of art, and a reminder that even the fragments can hold a whole world.
