We are a lab, we are a press. For making, creating, talking, co-conspiring, imagining, building, and healing. To answer the question, “What happens after the reading, in between the writing, the doing, and the living?” We welcome dialogue that may instigate internal but constructive criticism, and we publish anthologies that invite our communities to use their known and/or unknown poetic sensibilities to share this discourse.

Alternative Field Notes is our small press imprint. We welcome collaboration in all of its definitions.

Due to our limited capacity, Alternative Field Notes does not accept unsolicited submissions (outside of our calls for submission). We will not be able to answer your email or hard copy submissions. We wish you the most of luck in your submission process.
