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 11 features the ghazals of Steffen Horstmann, William Dennis, Mace Hosseini, Simeon Dumdum Jr., R. W. Watkins, Denver Butson, Norma Jenckes, and Eric Torgersen; the sijo of Edward Baranosky, Tamara K. Walker, Pat Geyer, and Chi Holder; the haiku and senryu of Priscilla Lignori, James Lignori, Susan Tamara Darrow, Steve Denehan, Nicholas Alexander Hayes, Clark Strand, Ma. Milagros T. Dumdum, Debra Woolard Bender, JoAnn Passalaqua, Ann Hills, Michael Lustbader, Shelli Jankowski-Smith, John Martucci, Sari Grandstaff, Charles Kramer, and others; the essay ‘The Ecology of Formal Haiku’ by Jim Wilson; and a review of the recent collection 575: The Haiku of Basho (John White and Kemmyo Taira Sato, Eds.) by Jim Wilson. Issue 12 is expected in December of 2019, and submissions of traditionally structured Asian poetry and relevant non-fiction are welcome and encouraged.
