At the same time, the press strives for affordability and wide availability, keeping its publications i! n print and reasonably priced.

Submissions

Oberlin College Press publishes books devoted in various ways to the art of poetry: * The FIELD Translation Series, begun in 1978, makes available the most exceptional of foreign writers to an English-speaking audience through the work of unusually gifted translators. * The FIELD Poetry Series, funded in part by an annual contest, features the work of new poets as well as, from time to time, the selected work of more established poets (e.g. Russell Edson, Franz Wright, Marianne Boruch). * FIELD Editions are occasionally produced anthologies: of poetry, of essays addressed to poetics, or of works of a specific genre, such as magical realist fiction and the prose poem.

Information on Suggestions on Submitting: Manuscripts are considered for the FIELD Poetry Series only by invitation, or through entering the annual FIELD Poetry Prize competition (see website). Book-length manuscripts of poetry in translation will be considered year-round for the FIELD Translation Series.
