We have a very special issue coming out the end of December. Star 82 Review  issue 11.4 has so much wonderful art in it that I am having it printed on thicker, glossy paper to make those visual images really shine. It's full of collage poems, painted poems, brilliant short stories, word and image combinations, and more. It wasn't planned, but Yes And ! Stay Tuned!

It's that time of year when everything is briefly pumpkin, then peppermint, but it does not affect the reading schedule for Star 82 Review  (I do not tend to publish seasonal/holiday work). However, I'm still looking for thoughtful and unexpected pieces for issue 11.4, due out mid- late-December. Submission guidelines are here:  https://star82review.com/submissions.html Yes, And?

Tell me how you see / feel / experience them with surprising language or interesting form. Just a thought. But no tabs, please. General Submission guidelines are still here . You read mine, I'll read yours.
