Harvard Bookstore welcomes poet and TikTok sensation TYLER GACA for a discussion of his new book Gentle Chaos: Poems, Tales, and Magic. He will be joined in conversation by ASH KELLEY and ALAINA URQUHART-WHITE—hosts of the popular true crime podcast Morbid.

About Gentle Chaos

In this raw yet enchanting collection of poems, essays, photographs, and artworks, Tyler Gaca dreamily navigates themes of magic and queerness, offering readers an intimate look inside his mind and his worlds, real and imagined.

The writings in Gentle Chaos reflect on growing up queer and in love with magic, discovering yourself and your place in the world, and daring to seek out love and hope. The artworks are dedicated to salvaged antique photographs, haircuts, dead moths, the creatures we dream up, and much more. The result is a whimsical, vulnerable, and transporting journey into the gentle chaos within us all.

Mask Policy

Masks are encouraged but not required for this event.
