HELLO

The Rumpus strives to be a platform for marginalized voices and writing that might not find a home elsewhere and to lift up new voices alongside those of more established writers we love.

We believe that literature builds community—and if reading The Rumpus makes you feel more connected, please help us keep the magazine going! Get your Rumpus merch in our online store. Subscribe to the Rumpus Book Clubs (poetry, prose, or both) and Letters in the Mail from authors (for adults and kids). And join us by becoming a monthly or yearly Member. Each of these programs along with reader donations helps to keep The Rumpus going!
