It's nice to have something to sustain us in these impossibly turbulent times. This particular issue of Star 82 Review, the twenty-ninth, is full of thoughtful, amusing, and heartfelt work. I think it is one of my favorites. Perhaps because the deadline was in February, or just perhaps because it is a popular topic, we have an interesting look at love from a variety of angles, among other topics.
From my editor's note: Love can be attention and care; it can hide; it can include a form of belonging; it can be both ephemeral and permanent, and it inevitably comes with loss. A few contributors explore separation and loss, but in ways you might not expect.
And lots of great art this time around, too! New work from Lisa Kokin involves collages made with shredded U.S. currency: it's money, honey! Richard Herring has created some amusing drawings, and we have beautiful prints from several California Society of Printmakers' members: Robynn Smith, Jami Taback, Kim Vanderheiden, and graphic designer Laurie Szujewska, and more.
