- Santan was an important figure in poetry in the 70s. Along with three or four other poets, Santan founded and edited the little poetry magazine Kavi which he struggled to keep going. Along with Melanie Silgardo and Raul da Gama Rose, Santan founded the small publishing house Newground, a poets’ cooperative. The first book they published was their own work, Three Poets. But they went on to publish other emerging poets, and the books were always beautiful to look at and affordably priced. The importance of this venture cannot be over-estimated. Big publishers would not touch unknown poets. Newground published my first book Fix in 1979, Saleem Peeradina’s First Offense in 1980, and Manohar Shetty’s A Guarded Space in 1981. (en)
