Star 82 Review 1.3

Star 82 Review is a full-color art and literary online and print magazine featuring excellent original work and lyrical language. The written pieces are short and contain between 9-1000 words; they are meant to be easily read both onscreen and on the page. Each one is layered and worthy of multiple readings. Many of the pieces in issue 1.3 comment on the person who may feel displaced, unsure, or uneasy. Sometimes the character finds community or a new path, occasionally s/he does not. For a few examples: we find a boy contemplating contrasting fathers and morality during a fishing trip; a young gay man longs for love like that of his favorite superhero; participating in a cancer walk, a woman is conflicted about her role as a survivor; a daughter writes a poem about her special father. We find lyrical work by Maxine Chernoff, Jaime Robles, and Alastair Johnston, among others, including a mirrored piece in Portuguese and English by Desirée Jung. We are featuring art by Shelton Walsmith, who created terrific covers for books by Italo Calvino, as well as wonderful work by many, many talented folks All are thoughtful, some are playful, a balance of humor and seriousness, humility and confidence. This issue is meant to delight you with “lively, beautiful and buoyant tales” and imagery that will light your way.
