Publisher's Synopsis
The world's premier publisher of Asian forms in English, Eastern Structures picks up where Contemporary Ghazals left off, publishing English-language examples of the Middle Eastern form, but now in addition to Korean sijo and Japanese forms such as haiku and tanka -- rendered exclusively in the 5-7-5 and 5-7-5-7-7 syllabic structures. Issue 4 features the poetry of Steffen Horstmann, Eric Torgersen, William Dennis, Mindy Watson, Liùsaidh, Chi Holder, Pat Geyer, Priscilla Lignori, James Lignori, Mark Redfearn, Nancy Rullo and Lance Nizami; and the critical essays of R W Watkins and L J MacDowall. Issue 5 is expected in late Autumn or early Winter 2017, and submissions of traditionally structured Asian poetry and relevant non-fiction are welcome and encouraged.
