Byron F. Aspaas is Diné. He is Red Running into the Water; born for Bitter Water. Aspaas earned his degrees from the Institute of American Indian Arts. His hopes are to influence those along his literary journey as a storyteller. His work is tangled in journals and anthologies. Currently, Aspaas is working on a collection of essays, a collection of short stories, and a collection of poetry. He lives just northwest of the Four Sacred Mountains of Dinétah with his partner, his over-loving cats, and ever-adorable dogs.

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!
