FIELD: Contemporary Poetry and Poetics

Welcome to the online home of FIELD, a twice yearly journal of contemporary poetry and poetics. FIELD has published spring and fall issues each year since its founding in 1969. The magazine is available at bookstores and by subscription. Back issues can also be obtained, in limited quantities. See Ordering Information for more details.

Would-be contributors: we read poetry year-round, and usually send replies within two months. Enclose a stamped, self-addressed envelope for reply. We aren't looking for any particular style or theme, just the best work being written today. Our address: FIELD, Oberlin College Press, 50 N. Professor St., Oberlin, OH 44074. Phone: (440) 775-8408. No submissions by fax or email, and no simultaneous submissions, please.
