I strenuously object to Ms.Baurer making a fiction of the lives of these two great artists. How can this be acceptable? It trivializes their art and their real lives. I would think it profoundly offensive to their families and friends. I wonder what Elizabeth Hardwick or Caroline Guinness (both had marriages to Robert Lowell) would have to say such fraudulent fiction.

And yes, Ms. Baurer is a candidate for speech/voice lessons. She speaks like a Valley Girl.

So many smart women do themselves and their gender no justice with their asinine, babyish way of talking. You are a scholar, woman: sound like one.

I will never say yes again.

This woman talks like she's 6 years old.

yes.... yes.... yes.... yes.... she's a very agreeable guest.
