She writes about the home of her childhood and the stories untraveled, often forgotten, in black Baltimore. She is a graduate student of the MFA program at the University of Baltimore. When Jordan isn\u2019t writing, she\u2019s doing two of her hobbies: eating out too much and spending time with her close-knit family. Her favorite dish is shrimp and grits. Her favorite human is her daughter.<\/figure>\r\n<figure class=\"alignleft size-medium\">\r\n<h3 class=\"has-text-align-center\" style=\"text-align: center\"><strong>Asphalt Graves<\/strong><\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\" style=\"text-align: center\">by <em>Jordan Robinson<\/em><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left\">The black body lay face up, chest bloody, ripe in the sun.
