The Twitters of Roberto Bolano

Stephen Elliott bio ↓ · November 25th, 2009 · filed under books

“All her verse is in iambic pentameter. Every single poem. We all order another scotch, and Miguel asks her to write a sestina . . .”

“We speak without moving our lips. Luisa sends me a poem merely by thinking it.”

“Here in the Kingdom of the Dead, all the poets are in the same barrio.”

Writer's Guidelines

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)
