The Editor: Ian Copestake is a research fellow in American literature at the Johann Wolfgang Goethe Universität, Frankfurt. His Ph.D. from the University of Leeds focused on Williams’s relationship to Unitarianism and Emerson. His work on Williams, as well as studies in contemporary fiction and poetry, have appeared in a variety of publications and scholarly journals including the William Carlos Williams Review, The Literary Review, and Orbis.

«Copestake's collection brings fresh insights into Williams's modernist dimensions, especially his tireless efforts to define a poetics that could evolve as the culture itself changed. The poet's own diversity is central to this commemorative volume, an important addition to Williams studies.» (Theodora Rapp Graham, Modernism/Modernity)
