Eastern Structures No. 22. This item is unavailable.Eastern Structures No. 22

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 22 features the ghazals of John Baglow, Alison Stone, Mace Hosseini, J. F. Shahrukh and Faiza Anum; a selection of translations and original ghazals by E. J. W. Gibb, Walter Leaf, John Payne and James Clarence Mangan from R. W. Watkins's recent Early Journeys, Forgotten Logs: The Nocturnal iris Anthology of Ancient Ghazals in English; the sijo of Gareth Writer-Davies; the haiku of Alex Lubman, Jonathan Aylett, Reid Hepworth, Lynda Zwinger, Joshua St Claire, Marcia Burton and others; and 'Haiku Mind, Enlightenment, and R. H. Blyth' -- three related essays by Jim Wilson. Issue 23 of Eastern Structures is expected in the late summer of 2022, and submissions of traditionally structured Asian poetry and relevant non-fiction are welcome and encouraged.
