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
