Deb and Harrison introduce a new series on outsider art with a discussion of outsider literature. Along the way, they touch on psychobilly pioneers The Cramps, science fiction luminary Philip K. Dick, former United States Poet Laureate Kay Ryan, and the loaded implications of the term "outsider art" itself.
