Submissions

FIELD: Contemporary Poetry and Poetics

FIELD is published twice yearly, in spring and fall. We read submissions year-round and usually reply within six weeks, though occasionally we may take longer. Please keep in mind that FIELD is one of the most selective small poetry journals in the country. We suggest you familiarize yourself with our journal before submitting.

FIELD accepts poetry only. Translations are welcome if publication permission has been acquired from the author of the original work. All manuscripts must be accompanied by a self-addressed stamped envelope for a response; if you want your manuscript returned, please be sure to include sufficient postage. We do not accept simultaneous submissions or electronic submissions. Poems (2-6 at a time) may be sent to the following address:

Book manuscripts

Manuscripts are considered for the FIELD Poetry Series only by invitation, or through entering the annual FIELD Poetry Prize competition (see below).

Book-length manuscripts of poetry in translation will be considered year-round for the FIELD Translation Series. Please send sample poems and a letter of inquiry describing the work and indicating that you have the author's permission, where appropriate, to seek publication for your translations. Address your inquiry to David Young, Oberlin College Press, 50 N. Professor St., Oberlin, OH 44074. Please enclose a self-addressed, stamped envelope for response.
