Robin Black’s collection, If I loved you, I would tell you this, was a finalist for the Frank O’Connor International Story Prize. Her novel, Life Drawing, was longlisted for The Flaherty-Dunnan First Novel Prize, The Impac Dublin Literary Award, and The Folio Prize. Her latest book is Crash Course: Essays From Where Writing And Life Collide. She teaches in the Rutgers-Camden MFA Program.

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.
