Over the past decade Esopus has held true to its mission to “feature content from all creative disciplines presented in an unmediated format,” and in its most recent issue, the magazine explored the intersection between the world of medicine and the world of art by showcasing work by artists, physicians, poets, phlebotomists, musicians, dentists and nurses, among others. This program brings together Esopus editor Tod Lippy, who will talk about putting together Esopus 22: Medicine, as well as contributors Ian Williams (Bad Doctor) and MK Czerwiec: Comic Nurse (co-author of Graphic Medicine Manifesto), and Danielle Spencer and Stephanie Adler Yuan, who collaborated on “Critical Conversations,” a paper which offers a depiction of a health-care experience from multiple perspectives. The event is co-sponsored by the Columbia Program in Narrative Medicine and the Penn State University Press.
