Popular Asian Creative Writing: Eastlit November 2014 Cover. The latest lists of popular Asian creative writing in Eastlit are finally available! As per normal we include the most popular Asian poetry and fiction of the past seven and thirty days. Our all time list gets an update too. We are going to  continue providing direct links to the pieces in the current list of popular Asian creative writing to make reading them easier.

The creative writing and artwork can be accessed from the links on the page or by navigating using the links in the top bar or from the Eastlit archive. Why not also take a look at some of the other poems, prose and artwork too? We all have different tastes, and let’s be honest, quality does not always mean popularity!

The next issue of Eastlit will be out on December 1.
