Chiron Review

Chiron Review is a literary journal based in St. John, Kansas.[1] It was founded as The Kindred Spirit[2] in February 1982, by Michael Hathaway shortly after graduating high school and taking a job as typesetter at a local daily newspaper.[3] In March, 1989, the title was changed to Chiron Review.[4]

Jane Hathaway served as assistant editor until her death on Feb. 20, 2000 at age 63.[5] In March 1989, Gerald Locklin became contributing poetry editor and Raphael Zepeda became contributing fiction editor.[6] In September, 2003, John Brantingham joined the staff as a second contributing editor in fiction[7] and in March, 2008, Zachary Locklin joined as a second contributing editor in poetry.[8] Guest editors for special issues include Andrew Gettler[9] and Sarah Daugherty.[10]

Chiron Review is printed in tabloid format with photos of featured poets.[11] It is noted for publishing the widest possible range of contemporary creative writing.[12] It is also known for fostering a sense of "community" in small press circles.[13]

Chiron Review's archives are collected by and housed at Beinecke Rare Book and Manuscript Library at Yale University.[14] The journal is indexed by Humanities Index International Complete, Averill Park, NY.[15] Issues 18-81 were indexed by Index of American Periodical Verse.[16]
