Colin Henry Wilson (26 June 1931 – 5 December 2013) was an English writer, philosopher and novelist.
 He also wrote widely on true crime, mysticism and the paranormal, eventually authoring more than a hundred books.
 Wilson called his philosophy "new existentialism" or "phenomenological existentialism", and maintained his life work was "that of a philosopher, and (his) purpose to create a new and optimistic existentialism".
The Lexington Herald-Leader is a newspaper owned by The McClatchy Company and based in the U.S. city of Lexington, Kentucky.
 According to the "1999 Editor & Publisher International Yearbook", the "Herald-Leader"'s paid circulation is the second largest in the Commonwealth of Kentucky.
 The newspaper has won the 1986 Pulitzer Prize for Investigative Reporting, the 1992 Pulitzer Prize for Editorial Writing and the 2000 Pulitzer Prize for Editorial Cartooning.
 It had also been a finalist in six other Pulitzer awards in the 22-year period up until its sale in 2006, a record that was unsurpassed by any mid-sized newspaper in the United States during the same time frame.
The Pulitzer Prize for Breaking News Photography is one of the American Pulitzer Prizes annually awarded for journalism.
 From 2000 it has used the "breaking news" name but it is considered a continuation of the Pulitzer Prize for Spot News Photography, which was awarded from 1968 to 1999.
 Prior to 1968, a single Prize was awarded for photojournalism, the Pulitzer Prize for Photography, which was replaced in that year by Pulitzer Prize for Spot News Photography and Pulitzer Prize for Feature Photography.
The Pulitzer Prize for Photography was one of the American Pulitzer Prizes annually awarded for journalism.
 It was inaugurated in 1942 and replaced by two photojournalism prizes in 1968: the Pulitzer Prize for Feature Photography and "Pulitzer Prize for Spot News Photography".
 The latter was renamed for Pulitzer Prize for Breaking News Photography in 2000.
The Ingram Merrill Foundation was a private foundation established in the mid-1950s by poet James Merrill (1926-1995), using funds from his substantial family inheritance.
 Over the course of four decades, the foundation would provide financial support to hundreds of writers and artists, many of them in the early stages of promising but not yet remunerative careers.
 Dissolved in 1996 a year after Merrill's death, the Ingram Merrill Foundation was at that point disbursing approximately $300,000 a year.
Spencer Reece is a poet and presbyter who lives in Madrid, Spain.
 He graduated from Wesleyan University (1985).
 Reece received his M.A. from the University of York (UK), his M.T.S. from the Harvard Divinity School, and a M.Div.
 from the Berkeley Divinity School at Yale Divinity School.
 At Wesleyan, Spencer took a class in writing verse with Pulitzer Prize-winning writer Annie Dillard ("Tinker at Pilgrim Creek"), whom he describes as "an early encourager," along with James Merrill, the Stonington poet with whom Spencer corresponded.
Dana Louise Priest (born May 23, 1957) is an American journalist, writer and teacher.
 She has worked for nearly 30 years for "The Washington Post" and became the third John S. and James L. Knight Chair in Public Affairs Journalism at the University of Maryland's Philip Merrill College of Journalism in 2014.
 Before becoming a full-time investigative reporter at the Post, Priest specialized in intelligence reporting and wrote many articles on the U.S. "War on terror" and was the newspaper's Pentagon correspondent.
 In 2006 she won the Pulitzer Prize for Beat Reporting citing "her persistent, painstaking reports on secret "black site" prisons and other controversial features of the government's counter-terrorism campaign."
 In 2008 "The Washington Post" won the annual Pulitzer Prize for Public Service, citing the work of reporters Priest and Anne Hull and photographer Michel du Cille "exposing mistreatment of wounded veterans at Walter Reed Hospital, evoking a national outcry and producing reforms by federal officials."
Stephen Yenser (born 1941 Wichita, Kansas) is an American poet and literary critic who has published two acclaimed volumes of verse, as well as books on James Merrill, Robert Lowell, and an assortment of contemporary poets.
 With J.D. McClatchy, he is co-literary executor of the James Merrill estate and co-editor of four volumes of Merrill's work.
James Ingram Merrill (March 3, 1926 – February 6, 1995) was an American poet.
 He was awarded the Pulitzer Prize for Poetry (1977) for "Divine Comedies" (1976).
 His poetry falls into two distinct bodies of work: the polished and formalist lyric poetry of his early career, and the epic narrative of occult communication with spirits and angels, titled "The Changing Light at Sandover" (published in three volumes from 1976 to 1980), which dominated his later career.
 Although most of his published work was poetry, he also wrote essays, fiction, and plays.
 He also made a cameo in the 1992 film "Lorenzo's Oil" in a symposium scene where he played a questioning doctor, due to filmmakers wanting to emphasize the "everyman" storyline.
The James Merrill House is a 19th-century house at 107 Water Street in Stonington Borough in southeastern Connecticut, formerly owned by poet James Merrill.
 Upon his death in 1995, the house was kept by the village as a home for writers and scholars.
