1. Du Perron Marker
Hij was een Nederlands dichter, criticus en prozaschrijver. Hij groeide op in Java en verhuisde na de Eerste Wereldoorlog naar Europa, waar hij verbleef in Parijs en Brussel. Later ontmoette hij in Antwerpen Paul van Ostaijen, Gaston Burssens en de schilder Carel Willink en was een van de oprichters van het tijdschrift De Driehoek. Hij raakte meer en meer georiλnteerd op de Nederlandse literatuur en in 1931 schreef hij het geruchtmakende essay Uren met Dirk Coster. Met Menno ter Braak richtte hij het tijdschrift Forum op, dat door hun invloed toonaangevend werd in de Nederlandse literatuur van voor ιn na de Tweede Wereldoorlog. Als dichter publiceerde hij diverse bundels, waarvan Parlando (1930) de bekendste werd. Hij overleed vrijwel tezelfdertijd als zijn vriend Ter Braak, op 14 mei 1940 tussen tien en elf uur 's avonds, kort nadat op de radio de Nederlandse capitulatie voor het Duitse leger bekend was gemaakt.

With Menno ter Braak he founded the magazine Forum, which, due to their influence, became a leader in Dutch literature before and after the Second World War. As a poet he published several collections, of which Parlando (1930) became the best known. He died almost at the same time as his friend Ter Braak, on May 14, 1940 between ten and eleven o'clock in the evening, shortly after the Dutch capitulation to the German army was announced on the radio.
