I feel the sum below should have a closed form. Am I wrong? A direct attack does not work. However, by experimenting I can sum a row but I can't sum all the rows. Any ideas? Thanks.
Sum[1/(x + I y - (n + I m)),
{n, -Infinity, Infinity}, {m, -Infinity,Infinity}]
Srow = 1/(x + I y) +
Sum[1/(x + I y - (n + I m)) + 1/(x + I y - (-n + I m)),
{n, 1 , Infinity}]
Sum[Srow + (Srow /. m -> -m), {m, 1, Infinity}]
