Farrah Field’s first book of poems, RISING won the Levis Prize from
Four Way Books. Her poems have

Philip
Fried, a New York-based poet and
little-magazine editor, has published three books of poetry: Mutual
Trespasses (1988); Quantum
Genesis (1997), which A.R. Ammons
called “a major new testament”; and Big Men Speaking to Little Men (Salmon, 2006), which—said Marilyn
Hacker—“represents much of what I admire in contemporary American poetry. . .
.” His most recent book of poetry is Cohort (Salmon, 2009), which D. Nurkse characterized as
“Tense with dark wit and wild originality.” Fried also collaborated with his
wife, the fine-art photographer Lynn Saville, on a volume combining her
nocturnal photographs with poetry from around the world. And he is the founder
of The Manhattan Review, an international
journal that for three decades has published the best in Anglophone poetry and
translations.
