Paul,
I, too, appreciate the essay. I must say, I had no idea who "Kay Ryan" is--I took "Outsider Art" from the Best of BAP edition; she was an unknown name, for me--and now I'm thinking I need to know more about her poetry. She obviously has great wit and intelligence, and these come through in her structuring of lines, sounds, and content, in "highly complex" ways. (It must be quite intuitive; how can one plan such a thing?)
