Mark Eisner’s Neruda: The Biography of a Poet (Ecco) was a Finalist for the 2019 PEN/ Bograd Weld Prize for Biography. It is the latest in a series of projects on the poet that began with City Lights’ 2004 The Essential Neruda: Selected Poems, which Eisner edited, conceived, and worked on as a consulting translator. Now, after co-editing Resistencia: Poems of Protest and Revolution, Eisner is working on a book that explores the interweaving forces of Tina Modotti’s art and life when she lived in Mexico during the 1920s.

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.
