prosaic = commonplace or ordinary
seeing the everyday magazine is about the prosaics, a term coined by contemporary literary philosopher Gary Saul Morson to capture "a way of thinking about human events that focuses on the ordinary, messy, quotidian facts of daily life—in short, on the prosaic. Cloaked in their very ordinariness, the prosaic events that truly shape our lives—that truly are our lives—escape our notice." *
It may be that our most prosaic events, those with father and mother, are the least discernable and the most critical in shaping our lives.

humanities." American Scholar (Autumn 1988): 515-528.
