“The Divine Aquatic” by @the_monafisa has stayed with @bethmarcel since she first read it. An incredible example of an essay with a perfect blend of emotion and tension. An ending to reread over and over. Beautiful and impactful. @The_Rumpus #RumpusEssays https://t.co/smWPVTxJPE

@JanikaOza loved wading through "The Divine Aquatic" by @the_monafisa, which breathtakingly tugs us between the safety of a caretaker's embrace and the mercy of the sea, without ever letting us go. @The_Rumpus #RumpusEssays https://t.co/smWPVTxJPE
