Erin Wilcox is a writer, poet, editor, and musician. The former nonfiction editor of Drunken Boat and copyeditor for Alaska Quarterly Review, she has edited some of the finest talent of our day, from Grace Paley to 2015 Pulitzer Prize winner Gregory Pardlo. Her creative work has been featured in numerous literary journals and anthologies, and her story “Half a World Away” was nominated for a 2014 Pushcart Prize.

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.
