Poetry for Cordite 50: NO THEME IV is guest-edited by John Tranter
Zounds! We’ve made it to issue 50 in the year that Cordite Poetry Review turns 18. Bust out the Passion Pop (read: Châteauneuf-du-Pape). Actually, this will be our 67th issue … but why be pedantic about all those special issues we’ve done in addition to all the rest? This is a bit of a special issue too.
It’s summer again in Australia. There is no theme. Send in good, new work.
That is all.
Please submit only once, with a maximum of three (3) poems in one (1) document … but first, please read the submission guidelines.
