Noa Micaela Fields is an echodeviant enjambment queen (translation:  trans poet with hearing aids) in search of the hypervivid in her one and only captionless life. No worries, she'll write the captions herself.

 

Fields is the author of E (Nightboat Books, 2026), an alterbook embracing mishearing as a subversive technology of transformation. Among other places, her words have glitch-materialized in Anomaly, Zoeglossia, Ghost City Press, Jacket2, Literary Hub, Oxford University Press, Poem of the Day, Sixty Inches from Center, Tripwire, and Tyger Quarterly, as well as various zines and ephemera.

 

Beyond the page, her poems take on  embodied form in ritual-performance remixes, which are often collaborative in nature. Such ethereal access mischief has recently transpired (or will soon) at Poetry Project, Elastic Arts, Artists Space, Palais de Tokyo, Woodland Pattern, Beyond Baroque, Podlasie Club, Roman Susan, Compound Yellow, No Nation, and elsewhere. 

 

Born in California, Fields now lives in Chicago, where she curates events at the Poetry Foundation and edits for Chrysalis, a literary magazine by and for trans youth. As a teaching artist, she has facilitated writing workshops at Access Living, Chicago Art Book Fair, Poets House, and Tangled Art + Disability, and guest lectured for classes at NYU, Northwestern, and SAIC. Come night time, she disemvowels ecstatically on the dance floor.
