'''''Abhidhanantar''''' was a significant literary magazine in the [[Marathi language|Marathi]] language primarily devoted to poetry. It was edited by [[Hemant Divate]], a noted Marathi poet and publisher. It started as a small magazine called ''Abhidha'' in 1992 and in 1998 it was named ''Abhidhanantar'' because of registration issues.<ref>[http://www.museindia.com/abhidhanantar.asp Museindia Article ] {{webarchive |url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090107093316/http://www.museindia.com/abhidhanantar.asp |date=January 7, 2009 }}</ref> It was discontinued in 2009.<ref>{{cite news|author1=Swati Daftuar|title=The power of small|url=http://www.thehindu.com/books/literary-review/swati-daftuar-on-how-little-magazines-make-a-big-difference-to-the-world-of-literature/article8202848.ece|accessdate=16 October 2016|work=The Hindu|date=7 February 2016}}</ref> ''Abhidhanantar'', along with periodicals like ''Shabdavedh'', ''Saushthav'', ''Khel'' and ''Navakshar Darshan'' was in the tradition of the famous `little magazine movement’ in [[Marathi poetry]] pioneered by renowned poets like [[Dilip Chitre]] and [[Arun Kolatkar]] in the 1950s. The focus of this periodical was on the relationship between literature and globalization and it showcased the poetry which emerged from the social, cultural and linguistic crises brought about by [[globalization]]. Abhidhanantar was also honoured with the [[Maharashtra Foundation Award]] for its contributions to Marathi literature.<br />
<br />
Its significance lies in the fact that it provided a platform for poets from various social, cultural and geographical locations eager to produce original poetry for more than seventeen years. It also brought out important special issues like the [[Dilip Chitre]] special issue, the [[Arun Kolatkar]] special issue and a special issue on Globalization and Marathi poetry. Many new poets and critics like [[Saleel Wagh]], [[Sachin Ketkar]], [[Manya Joshi]], [[Sanjeev Khandekar]], [[Mangesh Narayanrao Kale]], besides Hemant himself, have published their significant work in this magazine.<br />
<br />
Abhidhanantar is also a small publishing house which has published collections of some of the very important new voices in Marathi today. Its English imprint [[Poetrywala]] published ''Live Update: An Anthology of Recent Marathi Poetry'', edited and translated by [[Sachin Ketkar]], thus making fresh Marathi poetry available to non-Marathi readers. It has made recent Marathi poetry globally accessible. It has also very recently published ''As Is, Where Is'', collected English poetry of the distinguished poet [[Dilip Chitre]]. Selected Marathi poems of Chitre, translated by the poet himself as 'Shesha', were also published by Poetrywala recently. It has also published a poetry collection by [[Vilas Sarang]] and Dipalle Parmar's first collection of poems titled "Not a Word is Heard".<br />
