cordella magazine
Cordella Magazine is a biannual online publication with an annual print edition, featuring the work of women-identified and nonbinary creatives. Cordella Magazine seeks to record and share the creative voices of women-identified and nonbinary people from all walks of life, exploring the ways that our spirit and sense of self is engaged with physical place and daily experiences. Founded by Cate Clother in 2014, the magazine is run by a staff of volunteers. Madeleine has served as Poetry Editor since 2016.
