Recent publications include volumes by Amy Newlove Schroeder, Emmanuel Moses (translated by Marilyn Hacker), and Angie Estes, and American Alphabets, a distinctive anthology of contemporary poetry. Our books are found at discriminating bookstores nationwide. Essential operating support provided by Oberlin College and by the Friends of Oberlin College Press.



	The winner of the 2010 FIELD Poetry prize is Timothy O'Keefe of Salt Lake City, Utah, for his first book, entitled The Goodbye Town. In addition to the prize of $1000, his book will be published in the FIELD Poetry Series in the spring of 2011.

	Effective immediately, submissions to FIELD should be sent via our online Submissions Manager. Poems previously submitted via snailmail will be read and responded to as soon as possible; please do not resubmit them online.

	Amy Newlove Schroeder's The Sleep Hotel received a great review in Publishers Weekly (scroll down on that page to the Poetry section).

	Congratulations to Philip Levine, whose "A Wall in Naples and Nothing More," from FIELD #81, has been awarded a Pushcart Prize.

	Angie Estes' Tryst was named one of two finalists for the 2010 Pulitzer Prize in Poetry. The citation called it "a collection of poems remarkable for its variety of subjects, array of genres and nimble use of language." There's also a terrific interview of Angie Estes in the latest issue of Cerise Press.

Timothy Kelly:
THE EXTREMITIES

"Carving his astonishing strands of images, all the way from the pelvis as an 'alabaster birdbath' to the 'jewelsmithed bridge' of the bones of the ear, Kelly makes much other poetry about the body appear under-informed. After reading his poetry, you won't be able to raise your arm without a new sense of the intricate and tight net of correspondences between muscle and bone--and the way deft language can lead us to a fresh realization of the mysteries that are always with us."
--Lee Upton
