HNY 2012 to our contributors and readers

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.
About our Oz-Ko (Hanguk-Hoju) translators
Cordite 35.2: Oz-Ko (Hanguk-Hoju) features forty new works by contemporary Korean (Hanguk) poets translated into English. These translations have been provided by Chung Eun-Gwi and Brother Anthony of Taizé.
35.2: Ozko (Hanguk-Hoju) is now online
We believe that this special issue of Cordite Poetry Review represents an ideal opportunity for Korean works to be read by an international audience, and for Korean audiences to read Australian poets in Hangul is, in our opinion, also exciting. We hope therefore that you will enjoy reading the contents of the 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!).
Dialogue between Australian and Korean poets in Seoul
Australian poets Ivy Alvarez, Barry Hill and Terry Jaensch, accompanied by Asialink Literature Programme Officer Nicolas Low and Cordite’s Managing Editor David Prater, met with five Korean poets on 18 May 2011 in Seoul. Read a summary of the event, including excerpts from the Koreans’ poems.
About our Oz-Ko translators …
Cordite 35.1: Oz-Ko (Hoju-Hangul) features forty new works by contemporary Australian (Hoju) poets translated into the Korean language (Hangul). These translations have been provided by 김재현 (Kim Gaihyun) and 김성현 (Kim Sunghyun), both of whom I was lucky enough to meet during the Cordite tour of Seoul in May 2011. Here’s a few words about each of them …
Oz-Ko (Hoju-Hanguk) is now online!
The task of bringing these poems to you has been nothing short of monumental. Starting with the combined efforts of twenty poets whose work was selected for this stage of the issue, followed by the Cordite editorial team’s struggles with the challenges of bi-lingual layout and formatting, and finally of course the crucial role played by our two Korean translators – 김재현 (Kim Gaihyun) and 김성현 (Kim Sunghyun) – it’s been a labour of love, and we hope you enjoy the results.
