William Carlos Williams Review

Access current issues through Scholarly Publishing Collective, Project MUSE, or back content on JSTOR.

The William Carlos Williams Review showcases current and original scholarship from around the world focused on any aspect of the life and works of William Carlos Williams and his literary milieu, including the relationship of Williams and his contemporaries to the artistic, philosophical, social, and political movements of his day.

The William Carlos Williams Society was officially founded in the fall of 1979, granted allied organization status with the Modern Language Association in 1983, and designated as a Non-Profit Organization since 2012. The Society’s purpose is to encourage and advance the study of Williams’s writing and its relationships to modern poetry and other literary forms, both American and foreign. The Society achieves this goal in several ways: through the publication of the William Carlos Williams Review, the organization of panels at both the MLA and ALA annual conventions, and the Society website: https://williamssociety.org/. News and calls for papers are circulated in a newsletter which can be subscribed to by contacting the Society president Elin Käck at: elin.kack@liu.se.

The Society hosts an international biennial conference. The Biennial was inaugurated at the Goethe University in Frankfurt, Germany in 2005. The conference convened at William Paterson University from 2009 to 2017, the Center for American Studies in Rome, Italy (2019), Arrupe College of Loyola University and the Poetry Foundation, Chicago (2022), and the Universidad de Puerto Rico, Mayagüez (2024).

The Walter Scott Peterson Award ($500) is offered each year for the best article published in the William Carlos Williams Review. For submission guidelines and deadlines, contact Stephen W. Hahn at [mailto:hahns@wpunj.edu][hahns@wpunj.edu.

Submissions to the William Carlos Williams Review should represent original work and should not be under consideration for publication elsewhere. Submissions are reviewed by the editor and, when appropriate, sent out for double-blind review. All submissions receive at least one substantive written assessment. Essays are evaluated for clarity of argument, persuasiveness of evidence, and contribution to scholarly debate. Reviewers make one of the following recommendations: accept, accept with minor revisions, accept with major revisions, revise and resubmit, or decline for publication. Revised essays are assessed by the editor and also, when appropriate, by outside reviewers. Book reviews (minimum 1,500 words) and longer review essays are also welcome, and the review process is similar. The time from submission to initial decision is typically two months.
