Matt Cohen teaches in the department of English at the University of Texas at Austin. A contributing editor at the Walt Whitman Archive, he is also the author of The Networked Wilderness: Communicating in Early New England. He lives in Lincoln, Nebraska.

"Matt Cohen’s innovative new book, demonstrates convincingly that in spite of the technological advances contributing to this puzzle, matters were no less complex in the latter half of the nineteenth century. [...] Ultimately, as his title suggests, attempting to understand the process and significance of literary circulation, whether in the nineteenth century or in a world where readers can find the poet’s work with the click of a mouse, requires not only thorough research but also considerable imagination. This noteworthy new study features a great deal of both." — ALH Online Review, XXVI.1 (2018)
