Benjamin Meiners is a PhD candidate in the Department of English and American Literature at Washington University in St. Louis. His dissertation, entitled "Unsettling Geographies: Primitivist Utopias in Queer American Literature from Walt Whitman to Willa Cather," investigates the role of colonial and imperial rhetoric in queer U.S. literature produced from the mid-nineteenth to the early twentieth century. It argues that even as works by queer authors presented challenges to identitarian discourses of sexuality, they did so by figuring queerness through racialized primitivisms.

Helen Koukoutsis is Associate Lecturer of English in the School of Humanities and Communication Arts at Western Sydney University, Australia. She finds researching Dickinson from the Antipodes a solitary, but rewarding experience.
