Calling Gujarati poets

As entrusted by the Gujarat Sahitya Academy, I have undertaken the project of preparing and editing a collection of representative Gujarati poems written by Parsis.

I request scholars and poets of Parsi Gujarati poetry to provide me with relevant information, published or unpublished material or books, either gratis or by sale to help me in my project which I am undertaking at the ripe age of 78. A scholarship or study grant by any trust or person will also be welcome to meet the expense and labor.

Modern living Parsi Gujarati poets are requested to send me their published poetry books or unpublished poems together with their short bio data including the list of books published and consent for publication at my following address at the earliest: Dr Dharmendra M. Master, 4, Kalavihar Apartment, 50, Jay­nagar, Osmanpura, Aurangabad 431005, Maharashtra.

I have published nearly a dozen books including the works of poet A. F. Khabardar and a book on drama songs of Parsi Gujarati theater.
