Changes to the Cordite site design
We know you all love hearing about the technical wizardry that keeps this Internet website thingo going but we’ve taken advantage of the brief lull between the close of submissions for Pastoral and the appearance of our special Robert Adamson tribute, Mulloway to carry out some much-needed maintenance on the Cordite site.
Most importantly, we’ve changed from a numerical system of permalinks (ie the URLs of individual posts) to a category-based permalink structure. We hope this makes navigating easier and don’t worry - if you’ve already linked to a post using the old numerical URL, it’ll still work!
In addition, we’re conscious of the need to make this site as accessible as possible for all users. We have tested the accessibility of the front page using WAVE v4.0. If you have any queries or comments about the overall accessibility of our site, please leave a comment below or send us a message via our contact page.

Hi David,
Love the Mulloway: Tribute to Robert Adamson issue, and I thought I’d make a ‘fringe tribute’ poem for him myself and post on my own lou-waves blog http://lou-waves.blogspot.com/
I hope other readers of Cordite might write one also and post it on their blogs. Bob (can i call him bob) would no doubt enjoy the whole experience. No disrespect to your site’s official ‘con tribute ors’ or any dissing of Cordite intended, just joining in uninvited in the spirit of play.
cheers,
Louise Waller

Hey Louise,
Thanks for your comment and for your poem - I mean Erica’s!
We’re more than happy to acknowledge all of the ‘Imitators’ out there, because we know there are so many … so if anyone else has a tribute poem, leave a link here!!
I think you can call Mr Adamson Bob.
Just don’t call me Al.

Good luck with all your permalinks etcetera; whatever all that means. Anything permanent is unusual these days what with permafrost not what it used to be.
Not sure if this is a paen or a roast but parts are extraordinary and it bears the same sort of surreal relationship to Robert Adamson as David Lynch does to David Attenborough, especially if the latter’s being stalked. Those same glorious moments of poetic immolation that the Ern Malley issue did. A masked ball.

Hi Jen,
Yes, the permalink-frost … argh!
It’s good to hear you’ve enjoyed reading the issue - but I don’t think we’ll ever top ‘Children of Malley’, to be honest. A perfect storm of poetry and its progeny …
