Chiron Review #89, the all-punk issue, is now available for $7 ($3.50 for contributors) from Chiron Review, 522 E. South Ave., St. John, KS 67576 (check, money order or cash) or via Paypal: editor@chironreview.com.

This issue features Meri St. Mary on the cover (photo by Monte Cazazza) and 7 poems/lyrics inside. "In the mid-1980s, Meri St. Mary was the full-lipped punk siren to drive the prepubescent San Francisco anarchists wild. She was beautiful and crazy-eyed, as feral as a foul-mouthed alley cat, with a voice like Patti Smith and an attitude straight out of an Aqua Net can."

Other poets featured are: A. Razor, Chairman Ralph, Puma Perl, D.C. Lynn, Dion Olivier, Doug Cox, Clifton Snider, Adelle Stipe, Gregory Sherl, Marc Olmsted, Andrea Janov, Dave Newman and Brian Fanelli.

Due to economic difficulties and changes in the local newspaper industry, changing technology, and extreme increases in the cost of production, printing and postage, the last year (as has been for most everyone) has been unusually difficult and expensive for Chiron Review. To those who have subscribed and donated, I send my heartfelt gratitude. To those who haven't, if you have enjoyed Chiron Review, I hope you will take a moment to subscribe or renew your subscription. Your on-going support is vital.

NOTE TO CONTRIBUTORS:  In order to whittle down a backlog of material, Chiron Review is closed to submissions until Sept. 20, 2010.

More changes are just around the corner. After next summer's issue (June, 2010), Chiron Review will go on a short hiatus while I learn some new software and research the possibility of a major format change (from newspaper tabloid to digest/book).

Please note the hiatus will not happen until AFTER next summer's issue. Next spring's and summer's issues will be published as scheduled. If you have work pending with us, every effort will be made to get your work published within those next two issues. Since subscriptions are recorded by consecutive issue number, no subscribers will miss out on any issues they have paid for. Our readers' loyalty, patience and understanding are always most appreciated!

In February, 2009, I resigned as U.S. agent for French Connection Press. For some reason, the French Connection website still has my name listed as the one to send orders and other U.S. correspondence to. This announcement is just to let Chiron Review readers know that I am no longer associated with French Connection Press or Van Gogh's Ear. -- Michael Hathaway
