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
In addition to her work with the writers 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.

Poetry is still that place where we can do some healing, where we can put our rage, and where we can put our complicated human emotions.
