@BurlHorniachek Would you agree with Mary Karr, who spoke of "John Ashbery and the poetics of coy adorableness" and described him as "A brilliant, modest guy, immensely charming, but the most celebrated unclothed emperor in U.S. letters today—an invention of academic critics."

Talented Mr. Ripley is about how class mobility is a shell game, no amount of work or education can ever get you what ‘they’ were born into. Even when it seems Tom’s made it and is safe, he has to kill again—this time his own lover! Also about how great wide-legged pants are

the letter Marx wrote to his dad about abandoning poetry was not as interesting a read as I'd hoped, but here's a great line: "The whole extent of a longing that sees no limit finds expression in many forms and makes 'poetic composition' into mere 'diffusion.'"
