Poet Laureate, Kay Ryan

I subscribed to the Library of Congress's blog. I generally find the posts witty and interesting, a light and refreshing break to the day. Today's post was about new poet laureate, Kay Ryan. The LC blogger, Matt Raymond, clearly appreciates her and her work, so I thought I'd take a peek. I'm not generally a poetry fan, but I enjoyed it. You might want to check it out too, and perhaps share it with aspiring poets and poetry lovers alike.
