Students of non-profit writing center 826 Valencia have put pen to paper to share their thoughts as to how Obama should tackle his upcoming presidency. Listen to kids read their letters at 826 National. Read more in the New York Times and at McSweeney’s. Stay tuned for a segment on NPR’s This American Life this weekend.

This is The Rumpus

The Rumpus.net is an online magazine focused on culture, as opposed to "pop culture." Pop culture can be hard to define and the term means different things to different people. Basically, we're not opposed to things that are popular, but we have no interest in "art" created by marketing executives. And we have no interest in derivative art, like images of famous people made from shoelaces or Star Wars characters in funny wigs. (More on what we're about here, here, and here.)

The Rumpus is not worried about being the first to break the news. We care about good writing, and we'll publish essays just because the writing is good. And we won't run a well crafted meditation alongside an actor's opinion of the war in Iraq. (more)
