My name is Elan Gregory. I am mixed race writer. If you do not relate to being African American, please call me “they.” If and when referring to me when I am absent, please call me “them.” Because of the failure of whiteness to assimilate into blackness. The biological acceptance of being from Africa. Because of these patterns of disassociating from humanity that is imperialism. Because of segregation. I am not mixed race until the others who accuse me acknowledge they are as well. A light skinned French father and light skinned English mother make a seamless offspring that is perceived and experiences confidence being “pure white.” Everyone is pure mixed race. Not pure black or white. So to those that resist evolution I am “They or Them." I have three books published. "Organic Intelligence," “Lucid", and "Escape from Liberty.” More recently I have been solely writing poetry. It is much more efficient and intimate. I decided to write books to try and expose the urgency of deconstructing social construction. When in the event of socially constructed human dynamics there are practical (dialectical) ways in navigating and understanding what it means to be human. Social construction is a verb. Not finished. An enforced process. Sometimes internal. How can it stop? When does it stop? How does it feel? How did it happen? Who started them? Why? Many of the issues in society that I thought I could influence enough to change things for the better are still becoming worse. Poetry I feel has more urgency and immediate potency in terms of energizing new events and movements.
