डा जगदम्बा प्रसाद कोटनाला (कुट्ज भारती ) का अभिनन्दन आवश्यक है

डा जगदम्बा प्रसाद कोटनाला गढ़वाली में कविता ही नही लिखते अपितु एल विद्व समीक्षक भी हैं।  उन्होंने गहन यात्राओं द्वारा गढ़वाली कवियों के बारे  की और गढ़वाली कविता विकास पर DPhil   डिग्री हासिल की और 2011 में 'गढ़वाली काव्य का उद्भव , विकास एवं वैशिष्ठ्य' पुस्तक प्रकाशित की। 

470  पृष्ठ की पुस्तक में गढ़वाली भाषा का वैशिष्ठ्य -चरित्र, काव्य इतिहास व प्रत्येक युग के कवियों के काव्य शिल्प, रस विधान, प्रतीक व बिम्ब विधान का सांगोपांग विवरण मिलता है।  

विद्वान अन्वेषक ने गढ़वाली काव्य पर हिंदी काव्य का प्रभाव पर एक अध्याय लिखा है जो अपने आप में विशिष्ठ है। 

हाँ कुछ विशिष्ठ कवि जैसे मदन डुकलाण  आदि के बारे में क्यों नही लिखा गया यह एक प्रश्न अवश्य है और मुझे भी प्रश्न करने का साहस नही हो सका है । 

सभी गढ़वाली कवियों को यह ग्रन्थ अपने पुस्तकालय में रखना ही चाहिए।
