Post-Epic FAIL?
Those of you with long memories may just be able to recall that last December, at the time of the release of our EPIC issue, we also kick-started a little something called Post-Epic, which isn’t a genre – yet.
Zombie Haikunaut Renga II
This is Part 2 of Cordite’s Zombie Haikunaut Renga project, continued from Zombie Haikunaut Renga I. Please read the instructions if in doubt about commenting on this post!
Zombie Haikunaut Renga Instructions
David Prater & Keiji Minato have been kind enough to ask me to lead a ‘Zombie Renga' and I'm very happy to accept such a wonderful offer! So welcome those of you who are new to renga, and welcome back to those of you who participated in Cordite's inaugural Haikunaut Island Renga last year!

Post-Epic: it's all downhill from here!

Post-Epic Editorial
We're thrilled and excited to say that we've now gone live with the second part of our Epic issue. Cordite 31.1: POST-EPIC aims, in the spirit of Ko Un's Maninbo (Ten Thousand Lives), to produce 1,000 lines of epic poetry. Towards this end, the poets featured in our Epic issue have each nominated a line from their work to be used as the title and starting point for a new Post-Epic poem.
A Nest of Cinnamon
