The 87th issue of Chiron Review (summer, 2009) is now available. The price is usually $7, but only $5 if you mention our website. This issue features Kyle Laws on the cover with a short introductory essay and three pages of poems. (She chose not to have an interview, but to let her poetry speak for her). Other poets featured in this issue are best-selling novelist Marge Piercy, Patrick Carrington, Leonard J. Cirino, Simon Perchik, Lyn Lifshin, Cap Pinkerton, Russell Rowland, John Grey, Michael Kriesel, Fina Sauf, Ken Shedd, JBMulligan and Ed Galing. There is also poetry by Kirby Congdon, John Bennett, Philip Dacey, David Lawrence, Ruth Moon Kempher, Charles Baudelaire (in translation), Alan Catlin, guitarist Mike Watt, Antler, Neeli Cherkovski and many others. Our "centerfold" poet in this issue is Dave Newman, with several excellent poems about a variety of subjects, not the least of which are beer and religion. Fiction authors in this issue are: David Galef, denis sheehan, Charles Rammelkamp, Nancy Gauquier, Paul Sohar, April Davila. Nonfiction includes small press news, book reviews, an essay "Idea and Imagination in the Order of Wallace Stevens," by Leonard J. Cirino and a personal memoir about the singer Odetta by Spiel. The highlight of the issue is a review/essay by Charles Plymell about Jan Kerouac: A Life in Memory, edited by Gerald Nicosia. Included in this essay are three wonderful photos of writer Jan Kerouac (daughter of Jack Kerouac) who died much too young in 1996 of kidney failure.
