Kay Ryan: ``I so didn't want to be a poet...''
``I so didn't want to be a poet,'' Ms. Ryan, 62, said in a phone interview from her home in Fairfax, Calif. ``I came from sort of a self-contained people who didn't believe in public exposure, and public investigation of the heart was rather repugnant to me.''
``That's why I made that decision. I still want to be famous I just don't want to sing,'' she said.
