Robert Burke Warren

1 post
Robert Burke Warren has held down bass duties in rock bands, written with Rosanne Cash and for Wanda Jackson, performed the lead in the West End musical Buddy: the Buddy Holly Story, and banged away on an acoustic guitar in sweaty clubs and preschools as Uncle Rock (“Buddy Holly meets Shel Silverstein” - LA Times). His prose has appeared in Texas Music, Brooklyn Parent, the Woodstock Times, vulture.com, Paste, Chronogram and the Da Capo anthology The Show I ‘ll Never Forget.

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.
