About the magazine
Eastern Structures picks up where Contemporary Ghazals left off, publishing English-language examples of the Middle Eastern form, but now also Korean sijo and Japanese tanka—the latter rendered exclusively in the five-seven-five-seven-seven syllabic structure. (Please note that as of early 2023, they are no longer accepting haiku, senryu, or related articles.)
