Chantal Corcoran is a Canadian immigrant (not a refugee—these words are not synonymous) residing in Las Vegas, Nevada. She’s also an MFA graduate of the Bennington Writing Seminars and a 2016 Pushcart Prize nominee. Her nonfiction has appeared in The Chronicle Review and The Chronicle of Higher Education. Her fiction can be found at Litro, The Milo Review, Lost Magazine and Monkey Bicycle. She occasionally writes book reviews for The Common and for various Las Vegas publications. Usually, she prefers words to numbers—but, in this case, the numbers are most telling.

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! Get your Rumpus merch in our online store. Subscribe to receive Letters in the Mail from authors or join us by becoming a monthly or yearly Member.
