&lt;br /&gt;
== Works ==&lt;br /&gt;
Vinod Joshi&amp;#039;s poetry is infused with images of rural life, mainly through the portrayal of feminine sentiments in [[Gujarati literature]].&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;Welcome to Muse India&amp;quot;&amp;gt;{{cite web | title=Welcome to Muse India | website=Welcome to Muse India | url=http://www.museindia.com/viewarticle.asp?myr=2007&amp;amp;issid=11&amp;amp;id=525 | access-date=23 April 2016}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Poetry ===&lt;br /&gt;
Joshi is critically acclaimed in [[Gujarati literature]] for the elegant female sensibility in the sounds, rhymes and rhythms of his [[Geet (song)|Geets]] (songs). Motifs in his poetry include intense femininity, solitude, social status, and an indefinable individuality, conveyed in images of everyday reality and objects.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite magazine |last= Jhaveri |first=Dileep |author-link=Dileep Jhaveri |date= April 2014 |title=Dileep Jhaveri: &amp;quot;Beckoning to the Woods&amp;quot; |url=http://www.museindia.com/focuscontent.asp?issid=36&amp;amp;id=2504 |magazine= Muse India |access-date=2016-04-29 |issn=0975-1815}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref name=AGSI/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;#039;&amp;#039;Parantu&amp;#039;&amp;#039;, his first anthology of poems, was published in 1984 by the Kavilok Trust. It has been considered to be significant contribution to the Modern Gujarati poetry. The critic [[Ramanlal Joshi]] note the collection for its &amp;quot;artistic use of the subtleties of language to achieve poerty&amp;quot;.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite journal|last=Joshi|first=Ramanlal|year=November–December 1985|title=The Gujarati Scene : Lull before a New Upsurge|journal=[[Indian Literature (journal)|Indian Literature]]|volume=28|issue=6|publisher=Sahitya Akademi|location=New Delhi|pages=33–34|jstor=24158204}} {{closed access}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; &amp;#039;&amp;#039;Parantu&amp;#039;&amp;#039; was followed in 1985 by &amp;#039;&amp;#039;Shikhandi&amp;#039;&amp;#039;. A long [[narrative poem]], &amp;#039;&amp;#039;Shikhandi&amp;#039;&amp;#039; is composed in accordance with the rules of [[Sanskrit prosody]]. The poem deals with the psyche of [[Shikhandi]] and [[Bhishma]], characters from the &amp;#039;&amp;#039;[[Mahabharata]]&amp;#039;&amp;#039;. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;#039;&amp;#039;Tundil-tundika&amp;#039;&amp;#039; (1987), another long narrative poem, is a reinterpretation of the medieval Gujarati &amp;#039;&amp;#039;padyavaarta&amp;#039;&amp;#039; form in a modern context. &amp;#039;&amp;#039;Zalar Vage Zoothadi&amp;#039;&amp;#039; (1991) is Joshi&amp;#039;s critically acclaimed collection of poems.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In 2018, he published &amp;#039;&amp;#039;Sairandhri&amp;#039;&amp;#039;, a metrical poem composed in [[prabandha]] form with seven cantos, 49 chapters and 1800 lines. It is based on [[Draupadi]], one of the characters of Hindu epic [[Mahabharata]], and depicts a distinct world of Draupadi&amp;#039;s thoughts and feelings as a woman during her exiles, using various [[Sanskrit prosody|meters]] like [[Chaupai (poetry)|Chopai]] and [[Doha (poetry)|Dohra]]. Critic [[Radheshyam Sharma]] notes the poem for its musicality, figurative language and its depiction of [[Sringara]] (the romantic sentiments).&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;Sharma2019&amp;quot;&amp;gt;{{cite journal|last=Sharma|author-link=Radheshyam Sharma|first=Radheshyam|title=વિનોદરચિત કર્ણમુગ્ધા સૈરન્ધ્રી|trans-title=Vinod Joshi&amp;#039;s Sairandhri|language=gu|journal=Parab|editor-last=Joshi|editor-first=Yogesh|editor-link=Yogesh Joshi|date=May 2019|location=Ahmedabad|publisher=[[Gujarati Sahitya Parishad]]|pages=73–76|oclc=7982835}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
