About

Founded by Elaine Kahn, Poetry Field School offers affordable, accessible, nonhierarchical writing workshops. It is a space for writers of all levels to invigorate their practice through shared work and collective inquiry.

In addition to her work with PFS, Elaine has taught at Pomona College, UCLA, Saint Mary’s College of California, University of Iowa and elsewhere. She is a graduate of the Iowa Writers’ workshop and author of the Women in Public (City Lights, 2015) and Romance or The End (Soft Skull, 2020).
