Poet and lyricist Dinesh Adhikari's poem 'Water Parade' has been published. The work was made public with the gift of his collection of poems to poets Navaraj Lamsal and Momila at an event held in Kathmandu on Saturday.

The collection of poems published by Nepalaya contains 77 poems written by Kavi Adhikari from 2064 to 2080, both pre-published and unpublished. This is his 17th work.

Kavi Lamsal said that Adhikari has been established as a poet of poetic ability who has the extra power to intervene subjectively on objective consciousness. Poet and essayist Momila opined that Adhikari is a marginal craftsman and a magician of words who expresses artistic talent in poetry.

The work has been made public with reference to International Women's Day. Kavi Adhikari, remembering the struggle and camaraderie, expressed happiness that his poetry-journey is about to enter its 50th year. On this occasion, he recited poems titled 'Mother', 'Final Preparation', 'Behe' and 'Achanak Ek Din'.
