I'm still reading for Fall! Looking for short/flash works of fiction, narrative nonfiction, and poetry that are both personal and connect with the wider world, something only you could write. While there is no theme, here are some questions to think about: interactions between humans and wilder areas and/or animals; changes in the world; how we relate to one another; food and various meanings; or? Full guidelines are here .

Our 32nd issue is now available to read and view in print and online. In this issue we are coping as best we can: with love, humor, imagination, and activism. Thanks, as always, to the wonderful contributions from people around the world. Read online here . Or maybe you would like to browse and turn the pages yourself with a print copy here .

Star 82 Review Issue 8.3 is now available for your reading and viewing pleasure! It is a little wistful, but also shows a fighting spirit and moments of joy in the midst of disruption. There are some really lovely artworks by Bonnie Barrett (pinhole camera pictures); Geonni Banner (scanner art); and Robbin Ami Silverberg (artist's books and objects). In the themed section this issue takes on the idea of "getaway/get away," which brought out a variety of responses from the accepted contributors. Enjoy!
