Jane Wong is a poet, author, and professor of creative writing and literature at Western Washington University. Her new memoir Meet Me Tonight in Atlantic City is a series of essays about her life experience.

She joins Heath to discuss the strained relationship she's had with her father after he left the family because of a gambling addiction, the influence of her mother on her own sense of beauty, her process of writing, and how her love of ceramics informs her work as a writer.
