Chiron Review #125

Chiron Review has become among other things a small outpost of a refreshing movement in American literature. Charles Harper Webb dubbed it Stand-Up Poetry Ed Ochester called it Neo-Populist Poetry. Whatever it is it's an unpretentious literature that is accessible beyond the ivory towers of academia and outside the bounds of religious and politically correct restrictions. It celebrates honesty and humor. It also reclaims poetry as an art for the so-called common people.
