Publisher's Synopsis
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 2 features the poetry of Denver Butson, William Dennis, Steffen Horstmann, L J McDowall, Priscilla Lignori, Clark Strand, Bill West and M K Punky (Michael Konik), among others; and the literary essays of Clark Strand and Jim Wilson. Issue 3 is expected in early Spring 2017, and submissions of traditionally structured Asian poetry and relevant non-fiction are welcome and encouraged.
