"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."
