Eastern Structures No. 1 - Priscilla Lignori - Bog

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 1 features the poetry of Denver Butson, William Dennis, L J McDowall, Priscilla Lignori, Clark Strand and Bill West among others; and the critical essays of R W Watkins and Jim Wilson. Issue 2 is expected in early Autumn, and submissions of traditionally structured Asian poetry and relevant non-fiction are welcome and encouraged.
