First Book from Star 82 Press: Déjà Vu Goes Both Ways

I am pleased to finally announce the winning manuscript from the chapbook contest is now an available  book! Star 82 Press presents Heikki Huotari's prose poems, Déjà Vu Goes Both Ways, with a wonderful color painting by Kay Bradner on the cover, and several lovely drypoints and ink drawings within.

Interview with AI Re: Star 82 Review Content

A friend of mine is interested in how AI/Large Language Models work. For our amusement, he asked it about Star 82 Review . It was not good at details, but it proved remarkably astute at generalities after he cautioned it not to make things up.  For contributors: I think it will prove helpful regarding subjects, tone, and the types of humor I publish; I felt it captured the essence of the magazine. However, at the end when it suggests authors, I would add E.B. White and Grace Paley.
