Our August issue is live!
https://ogre.red/issues/2023-08/2023-08-introduction
With this issue, we trended back to how we started the zine: no prose, but a lot of poetry, with some visual art that ties in conceptually to the verse.

Our April issue is live!
https://ogre.red/issues/2023-04/2023-04-introduction
This issue leans into our literary roots with a number of pieces incorporating sci-fi and fantasy elements, critical theory, and absurdist humor.

Since we're new on Mastodon, I thought it might be helpful to post some of our submission guidelines and editorial review standards.
These aren't hard rules, but pieces that are closer to following them tend to have better chances.

We're excited to say that we have two new poetry chapbooks signed and in the works!
One about growing up in small town Colorado:
And one about the culture of South London council estates:
Nice to see that within just a few days of its release, our newest chapbook is closing in on several Amazon Top 100 lists.
The Goose Liver Anthology is a retelling of Mother Goose in the style of the Spoon River Anthology.
https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B0CY4WT463
What makes it noticeable is that these Top 100 lists are usually filled with reprints of classics, longstanding reliably-selling titles, etc.
Rarely poetry chapbooks from small indie presses. 😀
Our twenty-third and April issue is live!
With poetry, visual art, a critical essay in our new critique column, and two music tracks.
The SFPA has graciously accepted nominations for three of our 2023 chapbooks for this year's Elgin Awards.
A reading this Saturday at The Writer's Center with Don Illich, author of Rescue is Elsewhere and Love Poems on Bar Napkins.

Don's books are available on Amazon:
And what would be a poem arranged as a song, one might reasonably ask?
Loreena McKennitt's adaptation of Tennyson's "The Lady of Shalott" is a good example.
We're quite happy with the issue. In addition to our usual poetry and art, we also have a critical essay and - new for us - music tracks.
Speaking of which, the June issue is open for music tracks. Any genre. Poems arranged as songs would be on point.
Right on schedule, our April issue is full!
The last few acceptances will go out this week.
And that means we're now open for the June issue:

It's best to submit early.
An excerpt of an early review by Grace Cavalieri, Maryland's Poet Laureate:
"You’ll read this book over and again."
Says it all!

Right on schedule, our April issue is half full.
Longer form poetry and more prose poetry subs would be nice.
