A wonderful interview by Ambrielle Butler of Katie Beswick, author of our newest chapbook, Plumstead Pram Pushers:

A quick note - our August issue is now full.
Which means, of course, we're opening the reading period for the October issue:

Readers describe the book as vivid, visceral, and deeply humane.
Check it out! 😀
We're a week ahead of officially releasing the newest chapbook in this year's series - Plumstead Pram Pushers by Katie Beswick - and the book is already in Amazon's Top 100 for poetry.

Early reviews are unanimously positive! 😀

For a look ahead of time:

We've had stellar early reviews! 😀
I haven't written much flash, so it's especially exciting to have a piece in this year's UK National Flash Fiction Day!

A little piece about dragon tropes. 😀
And you can't mention Castlevania or that scene without mentioning Le Castle Vania's highly relevant track:

I'm just thrilled to have my Castlevania anime / Wagner opera mashup as this week's poem by The Friday Poem:

It's one of my favorite recent pieces. 😀
Happy Saturday!
Our June issue is live with our trademark mix of poetry and visual art, along with a bit of creative nonfiction flash and a new essay in our regular critique column.
I'm delighted to have my contribution to the discourse of the day live in MEMEZINE's new "The Slop" special issue - a little poem about an adventurous bear.

I'm delighted to have a piece in Blackstone / Whitestone's new Found Things zine - a surreal word collage composed from marketing copy taken from a pack of CVS hairbands.

We're at capacity for our in-house chapbook series and are temporarily closing submissions there.
We are, however, open for sci-fi and fantasy poetry manuscripts via our SFWA grant project.
Several strong manuscripts so far, but room for more!
Right on schedule, our June issue is half full!
https://redogrereview.submittable.com/submit
More prose poetry and longer poems would be nice.
We're also open for music / audioscape tracks (any genre or style).
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:
