Notes
The epigraph of 'Wet Casements' is by Franz Kafka, from 'Wedding Preparations in the Country': 'When Eduard Raban, coming along the passage, walked into the open doorway, he saw that it was raining. It was not raining much.' (Find information on Kafka at the index of Ashbery's influences and interests in literature on the ARC website.)

The epigraph of 'Friends' is from the Diary of Vaslav Nijinsky: 'I like to speak in rhymes, because I am a rhyme myself.' (Find information on Nijinsky's Diary at the index of Ashbery's influences and interests in literature on the ARC website.)

Ashbery has cited three sources of inspiration for his poem 'Houseboat Days': Florence H. Morden's article 'House-Boat Days in the Vale of Kashmir' (National Geographic Magazine LVI.4, National Geographic Society, Washington D.C., 1929-10-00, pp. 437-463: available at the ARC) (cited in American Poetry Review, 1984 May - June); Mildred A. Wirt's novel The Vanishing Houseboat (Cupples and Leon Company, New York, NY, 1939: available at the ARC) (cited in American Poetry Review, 1984 May - June); and Walter Pater's Plato and Platonism (e-book available at Project Gutenberg) (cited in P.N. Review, 1985). You may search this catalogue for separate citations for the interviews in which Ashbery made the identifications cited above; or you may find information on these sources at the index of Ashbery's influences and interests in literature on the ARC website.

In addition to Ashbery's poem 'The Other Tradition,' he has also published a collection of essays under the title 'Other Traditions.' You may search this catalogue to see the citation for that book.
