Star 82 Review Celebrates 50 Issues

We had a lively reading and small art exhibit after hours at CoRo coffee room to celebrate the publication of Star 82 Review 13.2, Summer Reading Anthology. Thanks to the prose writers included in the latest issue who read: Elaje López, Deepti Nalavade Mahule, Shira Musicant, and Kimberly Sweeney, and local poets: Sarah Kobrinsky, Daniel Ari, and Heikki Huotari. Local contributing artists to past issues who had wonderful art on display: Kay Bradner, Carole Jeung, Bryan Kring, Lauren Ari, David Johnson and Dianne Ayres. (You can look all of them up at star82review.com.)

I've always wanted Star 82 to be a kind of oasis, a place of connection and renewal, perhaps a place to recharge in order to go forward, and it was a joy to celebrate in person.

Even though I have no staff, I cannot do it alone. Thank you for contributing, for reading, for supporting the magazine.
