Brian, you opened up so many worlds for me in those early days of The Rumpus, including giving my own work a space to be seen. Thank you for your kindness, wisdom, and care.
I will be ever grateful to you for publishing some of my book reviews in The Rumpus many years ago. I went back and read some recently...and they made me cross-eyed with their theatrics. But thank you for the space and for all that you did for poetry and The Rumpus. I still have my mug, though it's a little worse for the wear!
The Rumpus is a special kind of incubator and those of us lucky enough to fall into its auspices are lucky indeed. Thank you for being a part of making The Rumpus such a seminal part of the writing/reader community I know today.
I don't know the Rumpus but you bring your work there so vividly to life! It's lovely to read someone reflecting with feeling and generosity about their work, and about making enterprise with others.

Now maybe I can get a poem in The Rumpus.
Heh.
I wrote a “Last Poem I Loved.” ❤️ Thank you to the Rumpus for being the place it is and was.
