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 13 features the ghazals of Mohammad Zahid, Eric Torgersen, William Dennis, Mace Hosseini, Denver Butson, and R. W. Watkins; the sijo of Debra Woolard Bender, Edward Baranosky, and several others; the haiku and tanka of Priscilla Lignori, Susan Tamara Darrow, Steve Denehan, Kiersta Recktenwald, Christina E. Petrides, and others; and R. W. Watkins's interview with longtime poet and former World Haiku Review editor Debra Woolard Bender.
