Because I don't Post enough

A. Van Jordan came a read in Akron and he was awesome. One of the nicest guys I have ever meet. Van came Mary's class last night and just talk about everything you could think of with poetry. His influences, setting up a manuscript, to get or not to get a PhD, research for poetry and how he uses this with his students, and he read some poems. He talk about film and how it has a major influence on his next book. Jordan also donated his whole honorarium. It was a lot of fun hanging out with a poet that I think highly of a finding that he is just a real person.
