Popular Asian Poetry, Fiction and Art in Eastlit

Posted on by

Popular Asian Poetry, Fiction & Art. Eastlit April 2014 Cover designed by Graham Lawrence. The cover picture is "Hands". It is by Stuart Coward. Copyright Eastlit and Artist.It is time to update the popular Asian poetry, fiction and art that has appeared in Eastlit. Once again we are taking a look a snapshot look at the most popular Asian poetry, fiction and art for the past seven and thirty days. I also include an updated all time list of popular Asian poetry, fiction and art. Plus there is also the latest month on month growth in readership comparison. And finally I include a list of the countries where Eastlit is most read.

I continue to only include creative submissions by contributors. Eastlit pages and regular columns are not included. I have again not provided direct links to each piece, but do mention the respective issue. It is easy enough to find the pieces from these. The menu has direct links to the three most recent issues. The archive has links to older issues.

Why not also take a look at less read pieces. This post is intended as always as a bit of fun. The appreciation of art and literature is very much subjective and because something is well read doesn’t necessarily mean you will like it!

Enough from me and so it is on with the lists of popular Asian poetry, fiction and art in Eastlit:
