Noa Micaela Fields is an echodeviant enjambment queen—translation: trans poet with hearing aids. She is the author of E (Nightboat Books, 2026), an alter-book embracing mishearing as a technology of transformation.

Among other places, her words have been published in Tripwire, Anomaly, Zoeglossia, Ghost City Press, The Oxford Handbook of Electronic Dance Music, Sixty Inches From Center, Antiphony, Tyger Quarterly, and various zines. Beyond the page, her poems take on embodied form in ritual-performance remixes; such ethereal access mischief has transpired at Artists Space, Elastic Arts, Poetry Project, Woodland Pattern, Beyond Baroque, Podlasie Club, Roman Susan, No Nation, and elsewhere.

Born in California, Fields lives in Chicago, where she curates readings 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, the Chicago Art Book Fair, Poets House, and Tangled Art + Disability.
