A unique magazine about and by people suffering from chronic illness and/or disability, Sick aims to challenge the harmful stereotypes and misconceptions surrounding disability through essays, features, poetry, art and interviews. Beautifully illustrated throughout.
Issue seven delves into topics such as non-extractive listening in the Icelandic seas, Iyla Owens’ ritualistic approach to chemotherapy, and a conversation with Caren Beilin on her non-fiction book, ‘Blackfishing the IUD,' which exposes chronic health conditions caused by the copper IUD.
