The Best of It: New and Selected Poems. By Kay Ryan. Kay Ryan's current appointment as the sixteenth Poet Laureate of the United States is the latest in a cascade of accolades that have finally caught up with a poet who has always found her own way--both in the poetry she writes and the quiet life she has preferred.
Biography. Kay Ryan has been compared to Emily Dickinson and Marianne Moore, sharing a delight in the quirks of logic and language. Because she keeps a low profile, she has been called an ‘outsider’ poet, a term she dismisses. “I think every poet is an outsider. I don’t think you could possibly write if you felt adjusted to your surroundings.”
