Memento Mori

A collection of poetry-written during a tumultuous, make-or-break year in the author's life. A slight departure from his previous poetic works-Redding allows himself to fully lean into the darkness-resulting in a yield of words which will leave the reader inspired to transmute their own pain to peace. Memento Mori-remember, you must die-but in living consciously, you may just fully live. Hi, I'm Tyler! I'm a full time writer and visual artist originally from just north of Boston, currently residing in Florida.Writing began for me at age seven, as a form of therapy for dealing with the loss of my grandmother. It went from a near-constant lifelong hobby to a profession several years ago, when I took up ghost writing, and also began writing under several pen names. My poetry compilation, "Parallel to Sundown" marked the first release in my own name.Poetry is a constant for me, but I also write plenty of fiction. When not writing, you can usually find me with a camera in my hand, traveling as often as possible. My biggest loves are art and spending time with my family and close friends, including new kitten "Catniss."There are additional volumes of poetry in the works, along with several other works-in-progress, so stay tuned for more!
