Dear Prof. Williams, I assume that you must be aware that Laxmanrao Sardessai's son, Manohar Rai Sardessai, was also a poet, who wrote poetry in three languages---Portuguese, English and French, and possibly also in Marathi. I contacted Manohar Rai Sardessai's son Sunil on your behalf and he has just told me that you can send him an email at sardessa...@gmail.com. He will then talk to his mother and have her grant you the permission you need. If you tell me which Goan poets you are featuring, I may just be able to add one or two more to your list. With thanks and deep appreciation for what you are doing, Victor Rangel-Ribeiro (author of the novel 'Tivolem' and other works)

Williams, a member of the Department of Spanish and Portuguese of Brigham Young University, Provo, UT, USA. I am seeking help in finding the son or grandson of poet Laxmanrao Sardessai (1904-1986) and also of poet Raghunath Vishnu Pandit (1917-1990), in order to obtain permission to include some of their poems in Portuguese in a forthcoming book of mine, entitled Poets of Portuguese Asia: Goa, Macao, East Timor. I would very much appreciate any email contacts you could give me that would help me get in touch with them. Thank you, Frederick G. Williams
