Full Plate: PRESENT Magazine's First Anniversary

I imagined PRESENT as an introduction, an offering, and a moment.

Full Plate: Harvest

As birds migrate, wintry winds drop hints, and the region’s harvest begins for wine grapes and late season crops, we start thinking about our own harvest. We gather family and friends together for food and drink, heralding the onset of the holiday season from Halloween to Thanksgiving to New Year’s Eve.

Full Plate: Autumn’s Arrival

We associate autumn with harvest, a time to gather food, friends, and family through rituals.

Full Plate: Old-Fashioned Technology Matters

Children that have access to great books in public and school libraries or in a home collection can delve into worlds on a page.

Full Plate: Winter Transformation

December has barely begun and winter stakes its claim. Fittingly, this month’s issue includes the photography of Jeanita Ives where she captures the slow transformation of nature from autumn to winter. Transformation underscores the theme of the December issue.

Full Plate: Living in the Moment

Like life, PRESENT is filled with moments for moving fast, going slow, and stopping altogether to appreciate the people and places around us.

Greetings

I discovered your publication about six weeks ago and am mightily impressed...

Full Plate: Letter from the Editor. Positive Hip Hop for Change?

Hip hop and other music genres are reflective of social issues at any given time rather than the cause of those issues.

Online, anytime, anywhere
