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.

Oz-Ko (韓 – 濠)

Pattern recognition algorithms only give us ‘fuzzy’ matches, eschewing the exact in favour of the textual, or else the sublime. This text, then, serves as a warning that “Oz-Ko”, the present object of study, is not an object at all …

Oz-Ko Envoy (Editorial)

When the call for submissions to Cordite’s thirty-fifth issue went out last November, it included the following ‘instructions’ for potential contributors: “For this issue, while the overarching aim is Australia-Korea relations, we instead seek works on any theme. Although works that take Korean themes as their inspiration will of course be considered, the focus is on attracting engaging, innovative, translatable and contemporary works, no matter their ostensible subject(s).”

David Musgrave's Sting poem earns blog wrath

I’ll be the first to admit that I am a recovering Sting fan. Having been brought up on the collected works of The Police, and having then duly gone out and bought Sting’s first two solo albums, and then having shelled out fifty bucks to see the man in concert, I can safely say we’ve got some history.
