Part of 1122’s Second Annual Holiday Makers Pop Up
A launch celebration for Sam Lohmann’s new chapbook In a Saint’s Ashtray from Jen Tynes’ Magnificent Field press, with three local Magnificent Field authors.
About the readers: 
Phoebe Wayne’s most recent chapbook, Transit, was published by Magnificent Field in the summer of 2019. She lives in Portland, Oregon with her family, in a house situated between two maples, a hawthorn, a plum tree, and a dogwood.
James Yeary is interested in the mitigation of personality for the sake of Martian influence. The new my day is cut and ready to be pasted. His most recent chapbook is Hawai’i (violaceous euphoRia, 2019).
Sam Lohmann is a librarian and poet in Vancouver, Washington. His small prose book called In a Saint’s Ashtray is just out from The Magnificent Field press in Michigan.
About the press:

Founded in 2017, The Magnificent Field is an independent literary press interested in projects that keep returning to a source, space, or subject—work that develops out of regular visitation, observation, presence, patience, and practice. These might include daybooks and pillow books, rituals, meditations, cycles, streaks, and repeated attempts that find form as a chapbook or full-length collection. The Magnificent Field is edited by Jen Tynes.
