Kay Ryan, "Outsider" Poet?
That's how America's new Poet laureate sees herself. "In truth, Ryan's as much a part of the Establishment as her 15 predecessors in the honorary position. She published her first collection in 1983. What she lacks is a literary position in a university, teaching remedial English part time at a California college." Pittsburgh Post-Gazette 07/22/08
