Your Favorites from 2022

Thank you for reading Khôra in 2022! When Corporeal Writing launched this space in September 2020, it was our commitment to writers and artists who “explore the creative by and through an ever-evolving and expansive lens.” Just like we hoped, with every issue, Khôra’s writers and artists fascinate, surprise, and inspire us.

Here are some of the pieces that we — and you, our readers — loved the most in 2022:
