Author Description

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 23 features the ghazals of Emma Lee, Gail Foster, Mace Hosseini, Norma Jenckes and Shelli Jankowski-Smith; the sijo of Edward Baranowsky, Sarah Taylor and John Baglow; the tanka of Joshua St. Claire, G. C. Parker and Susan Tamara Darrow; and the haiku and senryu of Priscilla Lignori, James Lignori, Jonathan Aylett, Becka Chester, Lynda Zwinger, Reid Hepworth, Alex Lubman and several others.
