About Us

Red Ogre Review #

We are an independent press for poetry, prose poetry, and visual art founded in October 2021 by Creative Writing Master’s graduates of Lancaster University (United Kingdom).

Why the Name? #

Geoffrey of Monmouth wrote about how, in folklore, ogres lived in ancient Britain before human civilization. We thought it sounded catchy!
