Mission Statement / Editorial Focus
What's on your plate? This online magazine offers, quarterly, a selection of fine writing and art that responds to crisis. We publish literary fiction, creative nonfiction, poetry, and artwork (of any photographable genre) that conveys such responses. Originally begun as a response to the Covid pandemic, the magazine has now been enlarged to include crises generated by war, extreme weather and climate change, population displacement, gun violence, famine, disease (including but not limited to Covid), and other relevant catastrophes. The magazine's mission is to contextualize creative endeavor within the moment, which happens to be a time of crisis. Right now artists are making art that wouldn’t have been possible during a pre-pandemic time, simply because the conditions of life have so suddenly and dramatically shifted. Our hope, and the mission of A Plate of Pandemic, is to serve up some of this impressive work to a readership hungry and in need of sustenance. We use images of antique dinner plates as website portals to the showcased works. The plates provide a meta-commentary on the works featured.
