Just found out I'm included in the Chiron Review's "best of" anthology which covers 1982-1992, along with Ivan Argüelles, Rane Arroyo, Charles Bukowski, Judson Jerome, Ruth Moon Kempher, Lyn Lifshin, Gerald Locklin, Tony Moffeit, Steve Richmond, Joan Jobe Smith, William Stafford, A.D. Winans, among the names I immediately recognize, and a host of others.

Congratulations!!
 
Holy Cow. Congrats.

Been a long time since I heard the name Chiron Review. I used to review lit books for Michael back in the late 80s. I think I was listed as a contributing editor. I hooked up Gerald Locklin with Michael, and I think they carried on a publisher-editor collaboration for many years.

Just went through their archives.

Turns out I was first in Kindred Spirit, back in 1984, before they turned into Chiron Review.
Then again in Summer, 1992, and a more recent one that doesn't show my name.

And YOU were in #64 2001.

First discovered them while poring through The International Directory of Little Magazines and Small Presses,
which, like for so many, I can only imagine, was like a bible of sorts.

Kept seeing Lyn Lifshin, B.Z. Niditch, etc., in the listings of many mags so subbed there when their names (and others')
came up.

Used to love their big newspaper-ish look/feel.

Actually subscribed to it before subbing.

Thanks, Phyliss.

What was (another) neat surprise was seeing the name "Albert Huffstickler" in the credits.

When I was at UT Austin (didn't last long...) I saw this then-mature fellow waiting for the bus with the rest of us.
And he was holding a copy of the International Directory of Little Mags and Small Presses that I mentioned above.

We started talking and quite soon became pretty good friends/exchanged lots of letters over the years.

That was my litmag "bible." I suppose I wasn't alone. Loved reading that thing...like a book, almost.

Just found this current interview with MH about Chiron Review:

What's weird is when I recently found out he is actually younger than me.

Back in '84 I pictured a wise, old, crusty character...

Nah, I knew he was a kid. I figured he worked at a newspaper and was somehow using the equipment to put out that Chiron publication. To pay for such a publication himself would have cost a lot of money.
