Cordite Poetry Review

Standard

2026

[Name], guest editor of Cordite [issue number and theme], has made their poetry selections for the issue, and, unfortunately, yours was not selected.

Thank you very much for submitting to Cordite Poetry Review. Our success rate is about 2%, and that reflects the challenging state of arts funding in Australia and the volume of high-quality poetry we receive.

With new guest editors each time, it's always tough to tell what will be selected and what won't.

Our next callout will open soon. We hope to see your work again in future, and we encourage you to continue submitting.

Warm regards,

[Name] | Production Editor, Cordite Poetry Review
