Tripurari Kumar Sharma (also known as Tripurari) is a multilingual poet, lyricist, writer, screenwriter, and translator from India. Working across literature, film, and education, he explores ecological grief, ancestral memory, and the silences shaped by migration, loss, and language.

 

Born in a village in Bihar and educated in Delhi, Tripurari fuses folk lyricism with urban fragmentation, crafting intimate, philosophical works that bridge tradition and innovation. He is the author of Aakhiri Ishq (Penguin Random House, 2023), a speculative Hindi love story rooted in transgenerational trauma; Osak Bunn (Sahitya Akademi, 2021), a Maithili poetry collection on rural identity; and North Campus (2019), a Hindi-Urdu short fiction collection capturing millennial solitude and resistance in metropolitan India.

 

His poems, essays, and translations have appeared in India Today, Aalochna, and Naya Gyanoday, and his work has been translated into German and English. His writings are featured in Indian school textbooks and have been recognized by the Sahitya Akademi Yuva Puraskar (shortlisted), the Valley of Words Award (nominated), and the Creators of Justice Literary Award (New York).

 

Alongside his literary practice, Tripurari has written lyrics and screenplays for cinema and digital platforms, with credits on Netflix, Amazon Prime, and major Indian broadcasters. He has translated Emily Dickinson, Gwendolyn Brooks, and Kofi Awoonor into Hindi, and continues to mentor young writers through workshops and fellowships. His current projects focus on reimagining world literature through an Indian lens—rooted in language, landscape, and inner life.
