Esopus Issue 22

Esopus 22 (Spring 2015) is themed on medicine and creativity, and sets artists' projects beside writing and pictures by doctors, nurses and patients.

It begins with a text by the poet and physician William Carlos Williams, read aloud by Hampton Fancher. The artists' projects are by Fred Tomaselli, Melissa Meyer, Martin Wilner, Nina Katchadourian, Teresa Matas and William Villalongo. The 100 Frames series takes stills from Frederick Wiseman's Hospital, introduced by Paul Austin, and Modern Artifacts 15, introduced by Michelle Elligott, is titled The Healing Arts. Stuart Franklin's photographs appear in Analog Recovery 5, Ian Williams and MK Czerwiec contribute On Rounds with The Bad Doctor and Comic Nurse, and there are two subscriber invitationals, The Perfect Waiting Room and Picturing Illness. The CD is Organs.

Esopus was founded in New York in 2003 by Tod Lippy, who edited and designed it for the nonprofit Esopus Foundation. It carried no advertising and ran for twenty-five issues, until 2018.
