Eastern Structures No. 8

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 8 features the ghazals of Mace Hosseini, Mohammad Zahid, Chidananda Sali, Denver Butson, Christopher Mooney-Singh, Steffen Horstmann and Eric Torgersen; the sijo of Norma Jenckes and Edward Baranosky; the haiku and senryu of Priscilla Lignori, James Lignori, Mark Redfearn, Steve Denehan, Nancy Rullo, Ann Hills, William Dennis, Sari Grandstaff, Clark Strand, Lance Nizami and others; and 'Prohibitions and Marginalizations' (Four Short Essays) by Jim Wilson. Issue 9 is expected in early 2019, and submissions of traditionally structured Asian poetry and relevant non-fiction are welcome and encouraged.
