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 7 features the ghazals of Christopher Mooney-Singh, William Dennis, Mace Hosseini, Norma Jenckes, Eric Torgersen and Mindy Watson; the sijo of Liùsaidh (L J McDowall) and Pat Geyer; the tanka of Daniel Hales, R K Singh, Bill West and others; the haiku of Priscilla Lignori, James Lignori, Nancy Rullo, Ann Hills, Sari Grandstaff, Mark Redfearn, Clark Strand, Mitchell Grabois and others; and the essay ‘Instantiating Syllabics from Japanese to English (Part Two: Tanka Translations)’ by Jim Wilson. Issue 8 is expected in mid Autumn 2018, and submissions of traditionally structured Asian poetry and relevant non-fiction are welcome and encouraged.
