In a previous life, I went to book fairs and bought extra copies of Star 82 Review from the print-on-demand service that I use. After keeping one of each for myself, I found I have several back issues from 2013-2019 to offer to you at a discount at nevermindtheart . All the *82 content on the web is free, of course, but maybe you had an issue you particularly liked but never got around to getting a copy to hold in your hand. You can now do that  here .

Heikki Huotari reads "Hands, Keep Hands" from his book, Déjà Vu Goes Both Ways, the Star 82 Press Book for 2020. It's a nice pocket size, easy to dip into. Put one in your hands at: www.star82review.com/deja.html

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!

The new Star 82 Review 7.3 issue holds up different lenses to the world, showing how each of our experiences helps shape us and see things in various ways. We have a poem about roping cows, one about dresses with pockets, an ode to a park, and reflections on regret, children, grandparents, and shared struggles, among others. The things that make us human. 7.3 online is here . 7.3 print version may be ordered from Lulu  here . (There is also a link to it at the foot of the online page.)
