...idea of Ryan as the comedian who copyrighted Cute is too limiting; she has dark tones in her palette as well. She's done terrific work as down-and-outers in Flesh and Bone and When a Man Loves a Woman and as the body-snatched bride in Prelude to a Kiss.

However, unless you have a real interest in the poet, most of the exhibits aren't very compelling. Some of the broader historical points the show makes are relevant but not very interesting...
