Pablo Airaldi is currently back at home in Bed-Stuy. He can be found spinning wrenches at 718 Cyclery in the Gowanus area of Brooklyn or cycling around the streets of Manhattan for Clementine Couriers. Although his native home is a country a few thousand miles away, he considers himself American in the traditional sense. He is currently finishing up a book based on daily journals written during his seven month stay in detention called “Dearly Deported”. Entries can be found online at a http://dearlydeported.blogspot.com/, please feel free to bug him about updating and sharing more.

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.
