Ty Gardner

A lifelong enthusiast of all forms of poetry, Ty has written creatively from the time he was a child. He is the author of a dozen poetry books and a co-author of a poetic anthology, Midnight With Words: Late Night Conversations in Poetry, along with eleven wonderfully gifted writers from across the globe.

Although much of his work is philosophical, grappling with such weighty ideas as mortality, loss, reflecting the past, and looking ahead to what unknowns the future holds, Ty's sense of wonder and unwavering admiration of simple curiosities are always similarly present in each of his poetic efforts, lovingly crafted with the hope that his words will impart an inspired thought and spark a creativity in others.

When he's not musing or waxing poetic, Ty can be found exploring the wonderment of his newfound home in Northwest Arkansas with his family.
