	After years of faithful service, Linda Slocum has retired as Managing Editor of Oberlin College Press. Best of luck and many thanks, Linda! Our new Managing Editor is the very able Marco Wilkinson.

	Marianne Boruch, author of Poems: New & Selected and other OCP books, will be giving a number of readings in the UK this spring. See here for the details.

	Philip Metres blogged about the fall issue of FIELD: "the journal is like a kind of polyphonic postcard--that intimate, that open."

	FIELD is now included in CLMP's Lit Mag Adoption Program. Teachers who want to use FIELD in the classroom can get massively-discounted subscriptions for their students (and a free one for themselves).

"These heart-breaking and inventive poems negotiate the oscillations of event and memory in order to reveal the delicate and highly filigreed interweaving--in our lives--of action, meditation, and utterance. Beauty and insight spill off every page of this rich, compelling, and essential new book of poetry."

--David St. John
