Happy Halloween!
We're delighted to announce the release of our newest book in our chapbook series, Unicorn Death Moon.
Part poetry, part art, also a planner / writing notebook - it's one of a kind:
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CL6ZZVRV
100% of proceeds go to the author.
Happy to say I placed a piece with Cape Magazine's next issue - a John Cheever-esque piece inspired, just for the fun of it, by celebrity divorce news and an old Taking Back Sunday emo song.
Check them out, they have cool issues.
Are you in California?
Something to bookmark for later - California Poet Laureate Lee Herrick and the California Arts Council have a new poetry project in the works.
Subs open later this year.

Today is National Dark Poetry Day!
And we just happen to have a collection of dark fantasy and horror poetry in our brand new chapbook series - GRAB, by noted librettist Kendra P. Leonard.

To sweeten the deal - after you've read your copy, donate it to a local library and we'll credit you as a sponsor on the book's page on our site.
It's a thrill to see one of my eco-poetry pieces in the latest issue of FERAL magazine, a surreal reply to a Carolyn Forché piece about the Great Pacific Garbage Patch.

Just as a little perk - if you buy a chapbook and donate it to a local public or university library, we'll list you as a sponsor on the book's page on our site. 😀
Happy Friday!
It's quite a day for ROR. Our second year anniversary issue is now live:
Along with the launch of three books in our new SFFH chapbook series:

And our new art print series:

Check it out!
An updated version of the cover art for Unicorn Death Moon, a chapbook in our soon to be announced series.
This is a hybrid of poetry / art / a day planner, a one of a kind book.
We're delighted to now offer art prints of one of our most popular art pieces, by one of our artists, Sylvia Santiago:

Both museum-quality canvas prints and paper posters are available.
Angela Acosta, PhD - one of our authors for our upcoming SFFH poetry chapbook series - will host a virtual roundtable on the future of Latinx speculative poetry at this year's Sturgeon Symposium.
The virtual roundtable is this Wednesday. Registration is free:
Quick update on our October issue - selections have been finalized.
As usual, if you recently submitted or haven't heard back, your sub has automatically rolled over to the next reading period.
We're also now open for December:
I'm happy to say that FERAL magazine has kindly picked up one of my surreal eco-poetry pieces for their next issue, a reply to a Carolyn Forché piece about the Great Pacific Garbage Patch.
Check out their current issues:

A new arrival to our chapbook series: John Sullivan's "The Big Forever Swim."
This is a hybrid work that blurs the line between poetry and scriptwriting, since many of the pieces are meant to be read aloud by several people.
The pieces have strong environmentalist and social justice themes.
For an excerpt:

Concept art for the book cover was taken from Luigi Colombo / Fillìa, an Italian Futurist painter from the 20s and 30s.
I'm not sure how crowded the field is for poetry anthologies on Amazon, but it's nice to see our latest anthology - The Ogre Sees All - crack the Top 100 in less than a day.
We would have been happy with Top 1,000 or Top 5,000 or really anything. 😀
If you'd like to support our authors and indie publishing, but don't need a copy for yourself ... there's always the option to donate a copy to your local library.
It's a great way to help authors gain longterm exposure to new readers. 😀
Our second yearly anthology, The Ogre Sees All, is now live!
Well over 100 poets, ranging from some first time published authors to two state Poet Laureates.
We'd love it if you could pick up a copy - this one of our fundraisers that we do to help with zine bills.
Ahead of releasing our second yearly anthology in the next few days, we brushed up our first from last year to sync formatting and style across the books.
Getting there!
We now have museum-quality art canvases and prints by one of our artists, Sadie Maskery, available on ArtPal:
https://artpal.com/RedOgreReview
These are cool, and the artist shares equally in the proceeds.
We're now offering art prints by Scottish artist Sadie Maskery.
These are hybrid word art / collage pieces with a modern fantasy flair.
