KAIROS is an online literary magazine with a physical publication of the work we publish available annually. We look for pieces that establish both a control of language and a command of artistry. Not only do we want to be at the forefront of literary thought, we want to publish writers who find tranquility in writing their most cathartic work, who emanate artistic expression. KAIROS means "the precise and opportune moment." In this volume, contributors include Carl Boon, James Croal Jackson, Barbara E. Young, Natalie Crick, Hannah Little, Robert Eric Shoemaker, Helen Grochmal, Larry O. Dean, C.A. Steed, Terry Sanville, Katlyn Susan, Evelyn Reynolds, Peter Schneider, Nick Alti, Paul Ilechko, Victoria Shropshire, Joe Bielecki, Jim Meirose, Kelly R. Samuels, Rod Zink, David M. Harris, Heikki Huotari, Bill Diamond, Katherine Shelton, Wade Dittburner and specially coordinated work from Carrie McCray Prize-winner and Pushcart Nominee Dr. Kasie Whitener as well as Gertrude Stein Award in Fiction Finalist Sean Padraic McCarthy.
