This statement is not just a casual remark; today, it stands as a living example in his very own poetry. Despite having only two published collections of poetry, both of which have long been out of print, Arun Kumar Sarkar is perhaps the poet who has written the most memorable lines among the poets of the post-Rabindranath era.
