Project Description

“What happens after the reading, in between the writing, thinking, and living?”

Alternative Field welcomes dialogue, discourse, co-operative thinking in ways that may instigate internal but constructive criticism, and we do this through curated workshops, discussions, interdisciplinary events, and ethically mindful artistic collaborations and partnerships.

We publish poetry anthologies that invite our communities to use their known and/or unknown poetic sensibilities to share this discourse and to archive it for future generations.

Alternative Field utilizes poetry [in opposition to violent systems of erasure] as a means to bring people across communities together for a common cause of re-associating our environments to those which are culturally familiar and relevant, in order to resist erasure, and to emerge from this era moving forward toward a more just future, guided by worldviews that foster collaboration and mutuality.
