Our 27 March 2025 RoundTable 360° session was The Wounds We Carry — Sex, Gender, and the Art of Creation.
Our art is often intimately personal — a place where we can explore our identities, concepts of self, and our deepest wounds. Whether our wounds stem from systemic or generational sexism, fear of rejection for not adhering to social norms, or not feeling safe to be seen as we are, art can be a powerful avenue for catharsis and reclaiming of self in the face of judgment.
How has art allowed you to explore these wounds in your life? How do issues of sex and gender influence your art?
This discussion is led by award-winning, Rhysling-nominated speculative writer Clarabelle Miray Fields. Clarabelle’s work has previously appeared in Corvid Queen, the 2021 Rhysling Anthology, and elsewhere. Holding a BA in classical languages, Boulder, CO, based Clarabelle often writes at the intersection of feminism and ancient myth. She currently serves as editor-in-chief of Carmina Magazine, a publication focused on modern mythmaking. When not writing, she enjoys being active outdoors and drinking the darkest coffee she can find. Connect with her on Instagram @cfieldswriting or via her website.
