Our ever-changing world is in need of more poetry.

LET’S HAVE A CONVERSATION

Vaughan Ashlie Fielder at The Field Office helps a small group of writers speak to the larger world. By simplifying speaking engagement logistics and offering clear lines of communication, The Field Office lays the important groundwork for creative conversations and meaningful experiences. If you have an interest in hosting a writer virtually or in person, we'd love to be in touch with you. Send us a note here.

Chapbooks & Broadsides by Weight of Bees

In addition to her work with the Poets of The Field Office, Vaughan also works closely with her partner Daniel Rose on chapbooks and broadsides for poets through Weight of Bees — a tendril of The Field Office. See more of our work here.

YET

We are busy printing and proofing our latest collective chapbook, yet. We will send these out to friends and organizations who have supported our work. If you would like a copy yourself, just let us know.

NICKEL
The chapbook NICKEL includes poems written by Dorianne Laux’s Monday poetry group in November of 2021. Learn more & purchase here.

Reading, writing, creating space for other writers, it’s all part of the same poetic action and part of the same love.
