Star 82 Review 2.2

By Alisa Golden

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 up to 1000 words; they are meant to be easily read both onscreen and on the page. Each one is layered and worthy of multiple readings. Like rivers, rocks, and beaches, the pieces in 2.2 seem to be about surviving, but gradually they become thoughts about how we take care of one another, how we manage ourselves, how we often judge too quickly, how we discover compassion and hope. In this issue, some of our visual highlights are a two-part poem about war and peace by Bea Nettles, created from photographs of names and words on gravestones, and photographs transferred to bread by Shervone Neckles that comment on heritage and religion. More wonderful paintings from Shelton Walsmith and a powerful erasure text by Andrea Janelle Dickens are among the strong selection of artworks. We include and conclude with our first comic-a completely visual narrative by Stewart Moore.Poet Shareen Knight has woven jeweled miniatures with words. Bill Vernon is back with a humorous and poignant memory. And we have a Surrealistic poetic scene with three people passing time in a plane by Nils Michals, among the other thoughtful writings.Contributors:Wes AdamsonJess L.
