Now Available: the literary journal Nostos, Volume III, Number 1, our "Eastern Wind" issue, with an enlightening personal essay by Robert Hass. This issue celebrates the influence of Asian art, language, imagery, and philosophy on American literature. It contains magnificent art by Debra Di Blasi and CiCi Chao as well as poetry and creative nonfiction reflecting the influences of Japanese, Chinese, and Indian works. This is a collector's issue with Western writers and artists grappling with the forms (haiku, tanka, halibut), imagery, and sensibility of the East.
