CHIRON REVIEW IS IN TRANSITION

Chiron Review is in transition and therefore closed to submissions. Due to technical problems and dwindling subscriptions, the journal will no longer be published quarterly in tabloid form. Subscribers and patrons were snailmailed options for compensation. Those who are interested in supporting Chiron Review in this transition and in continuing to participate in our endeavors should check this website for updates.

Kindred Spirit commercial press will remain in full operation and continue to serve its clients’ book publishing needs without interruption.

UPDATE SEPT. 9, 2011: The autumn issue was mailed out this morning. All material in the files was published except about six pieces which were returned to the authors. Contributors and subscribers please allow 1-4 weeks for the post office to deliver your copy. If you don't have a copy by Oct. 10, please drop me an e-mail with your current address and I'll put another one in the mail to you. Now that this final tabloid/newsprint issue is finished, we'll be looking into publishing Chiron Review in book form. Check back here for updates as they are available.

UPDATE AUG. 4, 2011: Thanks to three patron donations and the printer allowing us one more issue put together "the old-fashioned way," there will be one final tabloid/newsprint issue. Most all of the material remaining in the files will be published in this issue and it will be released Sept. 20, 2011. Contributors and subscribers will receive their copies, including subscribers who were sent books or back issues "in compensation." We will start the new book format with a clean slate.

The loyal support and friendship of our readers, subscribers and contributors is always most appreciated.

"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
