Katherine Cooper is a freelance art and culture writer. Her work has been published in Architectural Digest, Hyperallergic, Playboy Magazine, and BOMB magazine, among others. She pulls from her background in feminist and performance theory to frame questions about art and intimacy in a literary context. She has been awarded fellowships through the Hemera Foundation and the NEA-funded Art Writer in Residence Program at the SPACES Gallery in Cleveland. Prior to becoming a writer she was a professional matchmaker, a job she got on Craigslist.

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.
