"Lively ... energetic magazine of poetry, fiction, reviews, and critical essays. The magazine's strongest point is ... its selection of poetry, presented in a format reminiscent of a down-home version of the American Poetry Review. ... overall effect is clean and pleasing ... avoids the more formal and academic end of the spectrum and concentrates on 'outsider' poetry, a more casual confessional poetry with roots in the Beats and performance poets ... if the poets err it is on the side of being boisterous rather than that of being precious ... when the Chiron poets speak about life and love they pull no punches, the writing is gritty and real ... this makes the work readable and enjoyable ... The magazine has a vitality sometimes lacking in far more established reviews." -- Miriam Sagan, Literary Magazine Review
"Chiron is to the underground independent poet what American Poetry Review supposedly is to MFA candidates. I think Chiron [is] responsible for a whole lot more genuine community." -- Scott Preston, Small Press Review
"Wide array of poetry sprinkled with fiction and interviews ... prose is solid. The poetry is fresh and accessible." -- Tim Gavin, Small Press Review
"Extraordinary writing. It reminds me of the universality of experience I felt while reading Rita Mae Brown's Ruby Fruit Jungle. With long format reviews of small press books and magazines, Chiron Review is quite a chunk, but only coming out four times a year gives you enough time to digest it and be hungry for more." -- Carol Mohr, Small Press Review
"If I could afford to subscribe to only one small press magazine ... it would be Chiron Review." -- Merritt Clifton in the final issue of Samisdat
