Shridhar Tilve

Shridhar Tilve (born 1964) is one of the most important poets and critics of the post-cold war era of contemporary Marathi literature.

He has built up a cosmology of semiotics in it’s original context and contemporary world-view. He coined the term ‘chouthi navata’ to the entire process of conversion of commodity to "semiodity". As per his argument, the world in which we exist is nothing but a world of "semiodity".

He has published himself - Eaka Bharatiya Vidyarthe Udgar (92 poetry), Tikaharan (99 criticisms), Ka Vee (2004 poetry), Streevahini (2004 poetry), Decathlon (2005 poetry). His massive novel is in press and is likely to be published in the nearest future (since last year). His full-length prose ‘Aatmacharitratil Kalpanic Kshan – Touchy, Touchable and Untouchable' is also on its way to press, but lost.

His forthcoming book ‘Selected Works of Shridhar Tilve’ – a book edited with a preface by Saleel Wagh - is also in the press and expected to see the light of the day or night in this year.

He has attended and represented numerous scholarly seminars, symposia and study circles and delivered the lectures almost on every sphere of the life. He is publisher of Navniyatkalik (non-periodical) namely Sousthav from last several years from Mumbai.
