Strange times. I hope you are well. The summer issue is in production, and it will be a special one. I asked the twenty accepted contributors for an additional "shelter-in-place response." Those who opted to answer will have their pieces in a special section that acknowledges our current pandemic situation. I await the first proof, and we should be set for our usual mid-June release. Meanwhile, I'm reading for the fall issue, 8.3. I'm hoping to continue this dual look at life: what goes on as usual and what changes. More COVID-19 related pieces are appearing in my in-box, but I'm still interested in general gentle submissions. Thanks for reading and writing. Star 82 Review is here . Submissions through Submittable here . UPCOMING IN JUNE!
