15.01.2022 All the poems in Ashbery Mode do not present the kind of sustained and effective application of the ones I have explored, but it is important to note that Michael Farrell introduces the anthology as more of an open house of influence and response. Poems like ‘Ninety Nine Rabbits’ by David Prater, ‘Late Night Reading’ by Ken Bolton, ‘Holy Week at Wye River’ by Jordie Albiston and ‘Ashen Homage to Ashbery’ by Chris Wallace-Crabbe respond to Ashbery on a more elegiac level.

12.01.2022 Two titans of literary activism, Jeanine Leane and John Kinsella, will be doing us the honour of guest-editing the poetry for issue 101: UNTHEMED 10: their call below doubles as an acknowledgement of our achievements. From now, and throughout 2021, we’re celebrating 25 years of publishing. Milestones include the publication of Cordite Poetry Review’s 100th issue in February, Cordite Books’ 40th print title, and the new free digital anthology 40 Poets. Say Kinsella and Leane, ...'We are looking for poetry that enacts and is responsible for what it considers. The crossover between the degradation of human rights and the injustices of capitalism seems to inevitably align with the destruction of the biosphere, and even if it does not refer directly to these wrongs we expect a poem to exist with a consciousness of the environment in which it is being written.'

12.01.2022 In an age when all poetry publishing is and has been for a long time ‘small’ in terms of print run, and when the more handmade and autonomous forms of printing (the letterpress, the mimeograph) are rare or extinct, it’s not always clear what ‘small press’ might mean. For Rochford Press, a sense of continuity with the tradition of little mag and chapbook production is clearly an important part of its meaning, and OPEN and Cuando Fui Clandestino / When I Was Clandestine both situate themselves within this tradition. http://cordite.org.au/reviews/wright-stwelch-garridosalgado/

10.01.2022 The tone of companionability edged with aggression closes the possibility of a polite distance between addresser and addressee. Hose’s shillelagh is thus an emblem of not only the rhetorical efficacy of his poems, but also their distinct modes of sociability modes which reach both higher up and lower down the social order than the conventions of bourgeois respectability.

07.01.2022 Translated by the always incredible Ouyang Yu. It’s more like a precognition an inflammatory grain, tightly wrapped up in itself it took up its position in the depths of the eyelids... this looked very much like a bok choy http://cordite.org.au/translations/yu-er/

05.01.2022 Luc Arnault is a French literary translator living in New Zealand. A teaching fellow and PhD candidate at Victoria University of Wellington, his new translations of Katherine Mansfield’s short stories will be published in 2020 by Éditions Rue St Ambroise (Paris). http://cordite.org.au/translations/arnault-emaz/

04.01.2022 Contemporary Singapore is commonly represented either via national / official anthologies incorporating poetry in all the four official languages of Singapore English, Chinese, Malay and Tamil or in independent monolingual versions, most often in English. Over the short course of Singapore’s history, the government’s policy of promoting English as the main language of instruction, administration and business has rendered its purportedly polyglot denizens tongue-tied to a ...sesquilingual rather than truly bilingual or multilingual state. We decided that our curation should thus attempt to diverge from the mainstream options either of presenting only Singaporean verse in English, or token work from each of the four official languages. Neither is a truer representation of Singapore than the other, and both omit far more than they organise. With Sing Lit Station http://cordite.org.au/essays/singapore-editorial/
