William Page grew up in a small town in the rolling hills of Middle Tennessee. After graduation from Columbia Military Academy he worked briefly as salesman, mechanic, and assistant motion picture theater manager before serving four years in the US Air Force during the Korean War. He subsequently earned advanced degrees in Tennessee and Ohio and taught for state universities of Texas, Alabama, Ohio, and Tennessee, retiring from Memphis State University, where he was an associate professor in the creative writing program and founder of the acclaimed national literary journal THE MEMPHIS STATE REVIEW, now entitled THE PINCH.
