Varanasi, March 12 (HS). Senior poet Gyanendrapati said that Shriprakash Shukla is a poet who keeps the resistance alive. Shukla's poetic work developed simultaneously with his critical work.

Praising the book based on the poetic work of contemporary Hindi poetry poet Shriprakash Shukla, Gyanendrapati said that the various stages in Shukla's poetic journey have been kept in mind in the book. Presiding over the program, story critic Prof. Suraj Paliwal said that all the critics have expressed their views judiciously in the book.
