Spring is beginning to spring, and that means April/National Poetry Month is coming. Star 82 Review is looking for poetry for the summer issue, 7.2, and beyond. I've been loving the stories coming in (so keep so coming) and now we need more poems. Prose poems, haibun, and free verse are of particular interest. What do we give to the earth, to each other, and what do we take? Submit five poems here: https://star82review.submittable.com/submit/18055/hidden-gems-poetry

Hi everyone! I've navigated the new print-on-demand system and ordered the first print proof of Star 82 Review , spring issue 7.1. I'll be working on web pages soon, looking at an early/mid-March launching. If you sign up for the Quarterly Mailing List in the sidebar, you'll get an pre-publication email alert and, as a thank you, a little discount on print copies (current contributors get a larger discount). The mailing list will not be shared. Spring is coming!

Ricky Ray's poem from Star 82 Review issue 5.3, "As the Coal Cries " is included in his new book, which launches at AWP in March. You can preorder it from Diode Editions . Congratulations, Ricky!

Here is the poem created from either the first two or last two words from each written piece upcoming in Star 82 Review, spring issue 7.1. mad inhabitants keeping time for me I refinish  My house for life low ceilings  close again after me Inside the plane after my magic I wanted really necessary people walking see them all out seedy crowd it is me too remember it
