Influenced by Cubism, Jazz, and vanguard movements and approaches, it is no surprise that Gregory's work is complex. Just as this writing opened doors for him about cultural consciousness: i.e. art as exploration; and risk of discovering Self, this Staged Reading offers layered contemplation of everyday life experiences.
​
With poetry from Book Two Begins, a one-act play, A Beautiful Day, an excerpt from the play, She's A Beauty , an interview with Kevin Killian: poet, author, playwright (of primarily LGBT literature), and the co-founder of the Poet's Theatre and the New Narrative movement in San Francisco.
