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 12 features the ghazals of Steffen Horstmann, William Dennis, Mace Hosseini, Denver Butson, Red Slider, Eric Torgersen, and others; the sijo of Tamara K. Walker, Edward Baranosky, Norma Jenckes, and several others; the haiku and tanka of Priscilla Lignori, Susan Tamara Darrow, Steve Denehan, Kiersta Recktenwald, Mark Ward, Jim Wilson, Ann Hills, Sari Grandstaff, and others; the essay 'Richard Wright: The Best American Haiku' by Odin H. Halvorson; and a review of Tamara K. Walker's recent volume of sijo, Fabric Heart, by R. W. Watkins.
