Celebrate the launch of the second volume of Disaster Mag, “Working Title.”
This issue explores employment and mostly lack thereof in a global pandemic. With so many of us laid off, furloughed, unable to find work, underemployed, moving back in with parents, taking jobs we’re not interested in, backsliding on career goals, attempting to decouple productivity from worth, and waiting for hours on unemployment hotlines, “Working Title” scavenges for creativity in this crushing and ridiculous moment in time.
From essays on the Linkedin algorithm to found rejection letter poetry, this issue explores how we think about work during disaster.
Join the Disaster Mag editors for the second digital launch of our quarantine passion project and a reading from some of our contributors. After the reading, there will be a Q&A about the project and publishing during a pandemic.
