Dear Reader,
As 2021 comes to a close, the Corpus Callosum team is pleased to publish our Fall 2021 issue.
There are many emotions and themes running through the 29 pieces in this issue. Some of the work is raw, reflecting the frustration, sadness, anger, helplessness, and stasis many feel right now; some is coursing with a strong vein of hope, uplift, and gratitude; some is playful; some contemplative and questioning; some reflective of how art is our outlet in good times and bad. I have long been a believer in the healing power of art in all its many forms for both the maker and the audience, and working on this journal has firmed and deepened that belief even more: this issue is a fine display of such power.
So wherever you are on your path, be it content and well, or exhausted and burnt out, I hope the work here offers some inspiration, solace, or a chance to feel seen or heard. May this art be a balm.
Be safe and be well.
Sincerely,
Lia Vellardita
Managing Editor
