Author · Poet · Playwright

तेरे जहाँ में हस्ती मेरी इतनी सी है बस

मिश्री की जैसे इक डली गंगा के पानी में

जीवन खुली किताब रहा उम्र भर मगर

लोगों ने राज़ ढूंढ निकाले कहानी में

आइए बात करें

Begin a Literary Conversation

Stories find their fullest life when they are shared.

For four decades, Jaya Sarkar's work has moved between the page and the stage — between the quiet intimacy of a poem and the shared experience of a theatre hall. She writes for readers, but performs for communities.

She welcomes conversations with literary festivals, universities, schools, publishing houses, theatre groups, cultural organisations, and reading circles.

Whether you are planning a Kavi Sammelan, a reading programme, a theatrical production, or simply wish to discuss a collaboration — she would be glad to hear from you.

Write to her. She reads every message.
