True to form, Cordite #14 – Zombie has lived on well past its use-by date, continuing to attract hits from far and wide. Now it's time to get grassed for our next journey through cyberpoetics, Cordite #15 – GLITTER! As with previous issues, we'll be posting items from the issue over a two/three month period, just so that we can make you come back! Expect the usual batch of fresh poetry, amusing articles and interviews, cutting reviews and, of course, hard-core borg items. Glitter will hit your screens in the next week or so.

In the meantime, of course, our Cordite editors have been busy as monkeys thrashing away on those metaphorical typewriters. Paul Hardacre (The Year Nothing) and Paul Mitchell (minorphysics) have celebrated book launches in the past week. Well done guys! Sean Whelan's chapbook has also been published as part of a series called Hit and Miss. Carlie Lazar's all set to pummel the opposition on a panel organised by the Writers Centre in Melbourne (see her blog for details). Have I forgotten anyone? Ivy, I'm sure, is busy as ever. Cassie, too. Who knows what Terry gets up to in his spare time. As for me, well, I'm on holidays. What am I doing here? Okay, look busy.
