Our next Letter in the Mail comes from Rumpus editor and contributor Arielle Bernstein! Arielle writes to us about letters: why they make her anxious, what she loves about an old-fashioned letter—imperfect handwriting, sentence-level mistakes, vulnerability exposed on the page—and how letters differ so much from more impersonal modern, electronic forms of correspondence.
Don’t miss Arielle’s beautiful, handwritten ode to letter-writing! Subscribe to Letters in the Mail before September 14 to make sure it lands in your mailbox.
