To minimize wear and tear on the untershames, three requests:
1. Send time-sensitive notices well in advance.
2. Send material as plain text:  no HTML, other coding, or attachments;and 
write MENDELE PERSONALS in the subject line.
3. Correspond directly with the person who or organization which has 
posted the notice, *not* with your ever-beleaguered untershames.

Subject: Mani Leyb-copyright permission
Mani Leyb permissions

In a book forthcoming from the University of Nebraska Press, I would like 
to quote from two poems by Mani Leyb.  One begins "bay di vayse tishn," 
and the other is the more well-known "Zey" ("They").

Does anyone know of an estate or heirs who could grant permission for the 
quotes?

Does anyone know when "bay di vayse tishn" was originally published?  If 
before 1922, it is considered to be in the public domain and I need not 
seek permission for use of it.  "Zey" is postwar.
