Eastern Structures No. 10

by Edward Baranosky, Ma. Milagros Dumdum, Norma Jenckes, et al.

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 10 features the ghazals of Norma Jenckes, Steffen Horstmann, Mace Hosseini, Aafaq Hameed, Faiza Anum, Denver Butson, Christopher Mooney-Singh, and Eric Torgersen; the sijo of Nalini Priyadarshni, Michael Wilson, Pat Geyer, Edward Baranosky, and Sue Burke; the haiku and senryu of Priscilla Lignori, James Lignori, Susan Tamara Darrow, Steve Denahan, Debra Woolard Bender, JoAnn Passalaqua, I. S. Kipp, Nancy Rullo, Ann Hills, William Dennis, and others; the tan-renga of Ma. Milagros T. Dumdum and Simeon Dumdum Jr.; experimental tanka excerpted from R. W. Watkins's Waka-Cola: A Tanka Guide to Pop Art; and 'Differentiating and Emancipating': four brief essays by Jim Wilson on the dubiety of free-verse haiku. Issue 11 is expected in the early fall of 2019, and submissions of traditionally structured Asian poetry and relevant non-fiction are welcome and encouraged.
