Editor's Note 8/25

Eau de fraises. | Strawberry punch.
Prenez demi-kilog. (une livre) de fraises bien mûres et nouvellement cueillies; écrasez-les avec une fourchette; versez dessus un litre d'eau; délayez et passez par le tamis d'office, sans presser; faites fondre dedans 190 gram. (un quarteron et demi) de Sucre; ajoutez-y demi-cuillerée de jus de citron. De toutes les boissons d'été c'est la plus saine et la plus rafraîchissante.
Take half a kilogram (one pound) of ripe, newly picked strawberries; crush them with a fork; pour over them a liter of water; pass through a sieve, without pressing; melt in them 190 grams (one and a half cups) of sugar; add half a spoonful of lemon juice. Of all summer drinks, this is the healthiest and most refreshing.

Welcome to our thirty-first and August issue!

This issue is a little special, as it wraps up our fourth year as a press. I’d like to thank each of our authors, artists, and musicians for their enthusiasm, contributions, and support over the past four years. Without that sustained interest from such talented people, we wouldn’t have a press or have grown this much. It’s a privilege that all of us at Red Ogre Review deeply appreciate.

And we’re already hard at work on planning our next issue and our fifth year. Keep an eye out for several new chapbooks in the next few weeks, both from our in-house series and from this year’s Science Fiction & Fantasy Writers Association grant series.

With that, we have poetry by:

Sofia Bagdade
Seth Copeland
Kara Dorris
James Ducat
Arabella Green
Katie Kenney
autumn koors-foltz
Simon Ravenscroft
Lauren Suchenski
Sam Szanto
Rebekah Teller

Prose poetry by:

Holly Karapetkova

Critical analysis by:

Music by:

And visual art by:

All the best and happy reading,

Matthew Bullen
Founder & Editor-in-Chief
