[5] He was one of the chief exponents of experimentalist poetry in Gujarati, primarily through his literary criticism, rather than his poems.

Under his influence, form, technique and structure became far more important considerations within Gujarati poetry.

The torments of the individual and literary craftsmanship became more highly esteemed, but intelligibility, lyricism and musicality were valued less, as were social concerns of the writer and even the contents of the work, according to Deepak B.
