Mika Yamamoto is a creative writing master’s student at Central Michigan University. She is most famous amongst her cohorts for her obsession with food and business that is none of her own. Her short stories and essays have been published in Noon, Nimrod Journal, Wet: A Journal in Proper Bathing, Karamu, North Dakota Quarterly, Palo Alto Review, Lake Effect, Compass Rose, Red Wheelbarrow, Talking River, Rambler, and others. She currently lives in Midland, MI with her husband, four children, and no plants.

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.
