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 19 features the ghazals of Denver Butson, Mace Hosseini, Shelli Jankowski-Smith, Norma Jenckes and David Raphael Israel; the sijo of Gareth Writer-Davies and Daniel Elias Galicia; the tanka of Kiersta Recktenwald; the haiku of Joshua St. Claire, Priscila Lignori, Danielle Woerner, Steve Denehan, Jim Wilson, Pat Geyer, Marla Carew and several others; and a lengthy choka by editor R. W. Watkins. Issue 20 of Eastern Structures is expected in November of 2021, and submissions of traditionally structured Asian poetry and relevant non-fiction are welcome and encouraged.
