The Rumpus publishes original fiction, poetry, literary humor writing, comics, essays, book reviews, and interviews with authors and artists of all kinds. Our mostly volunteer-run magazine strives to be a platform for risk-taking voices and writing that might not find a home elsewhere. We lift up new voices alongside those of more established writers our readers may already know and love. We want to bring new perspectives into the conversation that will make us all look deeper.
We believe that literature builds community, and if reading The Rumpus makes you feel more connected, please show your support. Subscribe to receive Letters in the Mail from authors or join us by becoming a monthly or yearly Member.
We support independent bookstores. 10% of sales on any titles purchased through our Bookshop.org page or affiliate links benefits the magazine.

Even more badass: apparently the “scuba gear” consisted of only a wetsuit.
Really encouraging story. I just added a reference to it on my blog posting TSUNAMI (http//mscomfortzone.blogspot,com/) of earlier this month, and emailed the link to several friends. As the situation in Japan continues to be devastating, we need reminders of the human spirit. Thanks for providing this one.
