Star 82 Review Pocket Poems Is Here!

The content is fully linked online, and the thick pocket-sized book (4.25” x 6.75”) is now available in print through Lulu.com.

I read the story and considered it first, then read ChatGPT's analysis. I've redacted and changed any identifying features to protect the privacy of the submitter.
