DIALOGUE
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.

Post-Epic: it's all downhill from here!
As the story of the tortoise and the hare illustrates, a lack of speed is not always a bad thing. The same applies to our Post-Epic poetry project, which has attracted 750 lines since it was launched in mid-December last …

Haikunaut Island Renga: the Aftermath
It's a little hard to believe that we reached the 'proper' conclusion of Cordite 29.1: Haikunaut in early March 2009, after the posting of one hundred new haiku by a range of Japanese and international Haikunauts, David G Lanoue's Introduction to the issue and Keiji Minato's series of articles on modern Japanese haiku and renga. At that stage, we thought the hard work had been done, and that we would therefore try out an experiment in interactive renga writing.
