P – Call for Submissions to Cordite Poetry Review. Theme: Remember

February 2, 2025 @ 8:00 am - 5:00 pm

How is memory assailed by states, by time, by the formation of institutional practices of commemoration?

Alessandro Portelli once wrote that oral testimonies ‘are not always fully reliable … Rather than being a weakness, this is however, their strength: errors, inventions, and myths lead us through and beyond facts to their meaning’.

What are the bigger truths beyond facticity and how is the present enriched and unsettled by what we REMEMBER?

Submissions

Submission to Cordite 116: REMEMBER, with poetry guest-edited by Micaela Sahhar and Anne-Marie Te Whiu, closes 11.59pm Melbourne time on Sunday, 2 February 2025.

*Submissions for Cordite Scholarly are always accepted.

Submissions of poetry in translation can be sent to our Translations Editor at any time: alice [@] cordite.org.au.

The following conditions apply to all poetry submissions:

  1. We will only read submissions sent during our official submission periods.

In addition, the guest-editor will anonymously select an additional 30-35 works from Australian authors and use their discretion to select further overseas works. For each issue, the guest editor does not know the identities of the online contributors (via Submittable) until after the final selections have been made.
  3. Simultaneous submissions? Sure. Just inform us or withdraw if the work is accepted elsewhere.
  4. Please place up to three (3) poems in one (1) Word or RTF document (unless specifically noted otherwise for special issues), with no identifying details in the document itself.
  5. We are not able to offer feedback on individual poems.
  6. Submissions will only be accepted via Submittable …
