We're excited to share our curated poetry collection with you. Please enjoy one of our many books while hanging out with us in the reading room.

We’re proud of our growing collection of books by brilliant local poets and poets from around the world. We carry a little bit of everything, but are most proud of our catalog of books by writers of color and our wide variety of mainstream and experimental journals from the 60s, 70s, 80s to present. And you’ll also find a book or two (or many more) in a number of languages that represent Los Ángeles and the world. (We're currently awaiting some books in unified Braille format as well.)

Please keep in mind that we’re always entering our books into the system, so what you see in our catalog is only a portion of the books we actually have. If you have a donation, please email in advance of dropping off, or ask us to pick it up as we’d be happy to! info@alternativefield.com
