Michael Frayn: Michael Frayn, FRSL ( ; born 8 September 1933) is an English playwright and novelist.  He is best known as the author of the farce "Noises Off" and the dramas "Copenhagen" and "Democracy".  His novels, such as "Towards the End of the Morning", "Headlong" and "Spies", have also been critical and commercial successes, making him one of the handful of writers in the English language to succeed in both drama and prose fiction.  He has also written philosophical works, such as "The Human Touch: Our Part in the Creation of the Universe" (2006).

Pierre Martory: Pierre Martory (December 1, 1920 – October 5, 1998) was a French poet whose influence on New York School poets was quiet but profound.  His work was admired by Frank O'Hara, James Schuyler, Harry Mathews, and others, and translated extensively by John Ashbery, with whom he shared his life in Paris for nearly a decade.  His work has appeared in many books in both England and the United States, as well as in "The New Yorker" and "Poetry".  Martory’s personal “charm,” the poet Ann Lauterbach once said, “devolved back to the original meaning of ‘spell. ’” However, as Ashbery has noted, “Both the humor and the sadness in his poems are always rendered with an unemphatic clarity that is certainly Mozartian.”

Where Shall I Wander: Where Shall I Wander is a 2005 poetry collection by the American writer John Ashbery.  The title comes from the nursery rhyme "Goosey Goosey Gander".  It is Ashbery's 23rd book of poetry and was published through Ecco Press.  It was a finalist for the National Book Award for Poetry.

The Tennis Court Oath (book): The Tennis Court Oath is a 1962 poetry collection by the American writer John Ashbery.  Ashbery lived in Paris when it was published, working as an art critic.  The book received few and negative reviews upon its original publication.

Noises Off: Noises Off is a 1982 play by the English playwright Michael Frayn.  The idea for it came in 1970, when Frayn was watching from the wings a performance of "The Two of Us", a farce that he had written for Lynn Redgrave.  He said, "It was funnier from behind than in front, and I thought that one day I must write a farce from behind."  The prototype, a short-lived one-act play called "Exits", was written and performed in 1977.  At the request of his associate, Michael Codron, Frayn expanded this into what would become "Noises Off".  It takes its title from the theatrical stage direction indicating sounds coming from offstage.

Chinese Whispers (poetry collection): Chinese Whispers is a 2002 poetry collection by the American writer John Ashbery.  It was Ashbery's 20th collection and consists of 65 individual poems.

The Skaters: "The Skaters" is a 739-line long poem by American postmodern poet John Ashbery (b. 1927).  Written from 1963 and in close to its final state in 1964, it was first published in Ashbery's fifth collection of poems, "Rivers and Mountains" published by Holt, Rinehart & Winston.

John Ashbery: John Lawrence Ashbery (July 28, 1927 – September 3, 2017) was an American poet.  He published more than twenty volumes of poetry and won nearly every major American award for poetry, including a Pulitzer Prize in 1976 for his collection "Self-Portrait in a Convex Mirror".  Renowned for its postmodern complexity and opacity, Ashbery's work still proves controversial.  Ashbery stated that he wished his work to be accessible to as many people as possible, and not to be a private dialogue with himself.  At the same time, he once joked that some critics still view him as "a harebrained, homegrown surrealist whose poetry defies even the rules and logic of Surrealism."
