As you may have noticed, Cordite's blog format now allows readers to make comments on the content of the magazine. All comments are moderated before being published on the site.

We're obviously excited about this feature, and invite you to use it as much as possible. It is our wish to encourage lively debate on the subject of Australian poetry and poetics and we'd love you to be a part of it.

We welcome comments that are insightful, helpful, clarifying, instructional, informative, sporty, boring, flirtatious, disdainful, grumpy, or about sticky buns (the ones with icing and coconut on top).

We frown upon personal attacks, offensive language, inappropriate linking and comments that vilify on the basis of race, religion, sexuality, gender or disability. Comments such as these may be subject to deletion.

Please note that our finger does not hover over the 'delete' button. Rather, we like to think of ourselves as free-thinking bon vivants who will only get on your case if you really cheese us off.

General comments, suggestions and Letters to the Editor are also encouraged and may be sent to us directly – see our contact page for details.
