From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

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 poetry editor and Rafael Zepeda became fiction editor.[6] Dr. Locklin resigned due to health concerns in late 2019,[7] and died Jan. 17, 2021.[8]

In September, 2003, John Brantingham joined the staff as a second editor in fiction,[9] and resigned in December 2020.[10] In March, 2008, Zachary Locklin joined as a second editor in poetry[11] and resigned in 2015.[12] In 2014, Wendy Rainey joined the staff as a poetry editor, Sarah Daugherty as a fiction editor, and Craig Ashby as art director.[13] In 2018, Clint Margrave, Kareem Tayyar, and Grant Hier became poetry editors.[14] Dave Newman joined as a fiction editor and Paul Kareem Tayyar resigned in 2024.[15]

Chiron Review was printed in tabloid newsprint format.[2] It is noted for publishing the widest possible range of contemporary creative writing.[16] It is also known for fostering a sense of "community" in small press circles.[17]

The magazine ceased publication in the fall of 2011,[18] and resumed publication in the fall of 2014 in 6x9 soft cover book format.[19]

Chiron Review published several theme issues. Issue #89 (fall 2009) was a punk rock issue, guest edited by Sarah Daugherty. Issue #26 (spring 1991) was written and edited by Vietnam veterans, edited by Andrew Gettler. There were five all LGBTQ+ issues: #13 (fall 1987); #33 (winter 1992); #50 (spring 1997); #81 (winter 2005), and #128/129 (winter 2022/spring 2023), all edited by Michael Hathaway. A special tribute issue to Gerald Locklin (#127) was published in the fall of 2022, also edited by Michael Hathaway. [20]

Chiron Review's archives [1979-2015] are housed at Beinecke Rare Book and Manuscript Library at Yale University.[21] Later components of the journal's archive are housed at Princeton University Library, Temple University Library, and Kenneth Spencer Research Library at University of Kansas.[22] The journal is indexed by Humanities Index International Complete, Averill Park, NY.[23] Issues 18-81 were indexed by Index of American Periodical Verse.[24]
