Here’s the official media-release:
Cordite 30: Custom/Made is now online. The guest poetry editor for this issue, joanne burns, has custom-selected forty four poems from a diverse range of makers including Geoff Lemon, Anne Elvey, Sue Stanford, Ouyang Yu, Sam Twyford-Moore, Lee Kofman, Derek Motion and Bonny Cassidy. As is customary, the issue is presented in its entirety on the Cordite website, and can be accessed here:

Over the coming weeks, Cordite will also be posting a second set of poems by the contributors to the issue. These poems will be ‘made’ using the texts from other contributors’ poems. Think of it as a kind of re-mix, sans Auto-tune (sorry, Kanye). Keep an eye out for other new content on the site, including new audio poems, features, interviews and, of course, Cordite’s fortnightly book review.
(note that joanne’s name is in lower-case in the blurb). my poem design brief.pdf is included. i was just thinking, that over my career (?) Cordite is by far the venue i’ve published the most of my work with. i could say something like ‘it’s because Cordite is the most innovative, forward-thinking venue for contemporary poetry – the editor & guest editors have VISION, man’, but i don’t know if that’s true… even if it is to a certain extent, saying it makes me sound like a wanker, so i won’t. i don’t know anything. that’s why i blog. answers please.
