Poetry for Cordite 43: MASQUE will be guest-edited by Ann Vickery with featured artists Jeremy Balius and Lily Mae Martin (coverstar).

This issue will be the Masque. An invitation is extended to displays of Devices and Mythic Mayhem, Stage Effects and Staged Affect. The issue desires to entertain Bold Interiors of Poetic Fancy and Brocaded Renderings, Lyricised Run-ons, and flirtatious Kinks in the Narrative. It seeks a toying with Masks and Anti-Masks of identity and all forms of Gender guises. The issue will delight in submissions that feature courtly design, political or ethical high drama, human conceit, or wall-to-wall costumed allegory. It calls for Mock eucalypt Grottos and Other Pastoral Settings, Love’s elevations and What Lies behind the Curtains.

Cordite 43: MASQUE will feature Intimate Publics, including Persons, Ladies, Knaves, and even perhaps the occasional Wild Goose. Dumbshows and intermissions. Tableaux of Dreams and Tragedy. Panels of Festive or Fabled curiosities, all for Recreational Consumption.

Acquiesce. Submit (experience the full details).
