 Welcome to On the Margin with E.F. LeBert Miller. My guest today is A. Van Jordan. A. Van Jordan is a professor of creative writing at Stanford University. He's written several poetry collections. His latest book is When I Wait, I Cry to Dream Again, published by W.W. Norton and Company. How are you doing today, Van? I'm good. I'm happy to be here with you. Well, you know, Van, when I think of Akron, Ohio, I think of LeBron James, Steph Curry and A. Van Jordan.
