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 be obtained, in limited quantities. FIELD is also available for download to the iPad, iPhone, or iPod Touch. See Ordering Information for more details.

Would-be contributors: we read poetry from August through May, and usually send replies within two months. We aren't looking for any particular style or theme, just the best work being written today. Please send between 2 and 6 poems via our online Submission Manager. No simultaneous submissions, please.

FIELD pays contributors at the rate of $15 per page. All rights revert to authors upon publication.
