Tiny Steps: the Electr(on)ification of Cordite
Cordite 36: Electronica has been a fascinating and challenging issue to put together. It contains forty new poems, fifteen spoken word tracks, a dozen features and, for the first time, a selection of multimedia or ‘e-lit’ works. Bringing together these disparate types of content raises an interesting question for Cordite as an online journal. Have we finally broken through that invisible barrier between ‘text-based journal’ and ‘online journal of electronic literature’?

Cordite 35: Oz-Ko is now complete!
If you’d told me in April this year that we’d still be posting content from our Oz-Ko issue in November, I would have called you barking mad. But that’s exactly what’s happened: what started out in 2009 as an idea for a straightforward issue devoted to new poetry from Australia and the Republic of Korea has now spawned three separate issues including one hundred and fifteen poems (of which over ninety are translations), almost two dozen features (including essays, articles, interviews and photo galleries) and two separate tours, to Korea and Australia, by a total of eight poets from both countries.
Excuse me while I take a moment to reflect on that.
Ozko (Envoi)
This poem, featuring the titles of the forty poems published in Cordite 35.2: OzKo (Hanguk-Hoju), officially brings to a close Cordite’s monumental Oz-Ko issue.
Cordite’s two-thousandth post!
I’ve been wanting to write this post since I first started out as editor of Cordite in 2001. Now, ten years later, I’m happy (nay, ecstatic!) to announce that this is the two-thousandth post to be published on the Cordite site! Whichever way you look at it, that’s a whole lot of untold.
Yeonhui Seminar and Performance Poster
This poster was produced to advertise the seminar-meeting between three Australian and four Korean poets held at Yeonhui Writers Village in May 2011 (full write-up here), and a later evening of performances, also held at Yeonhui (full write-up coming soon!).
