Shambhu Kumar Thakur ek jaane-maane kavi, lekhak evam sahityakar hain. Ve mool roop se Bihar ke Madhubani zila ke Kalna gaon ke nivaasi hain. Grameen jeevan ki smritiyan, lokbodh aur samajik yatharth unki rachanatmak samvedana ki mool bhoomi rahe hain, jo unki kavitaon aur gadya mein spasht roop se dikhai deti hain.

Samprati ve Delhi mein adhivakta ke roop mein karyarat hain. Sahitya aur vidhi — dono kshetron mein unki sakriya upasthiti unke lekhan ko ek vishisht drishti pradan karti hai. Unki rachnaon mein jahan bhasha ki kavyatmakta hai, wahin samvidhan, nyay aur samajik sarokaron ki gehri samajh bhi hai.

Unhone vibhinna vidhaon mein lekhan kiya hai. Kavita, gadya, vyangya aur aalochana ke saath-saath kanoon se sambandhit anek pustakon ka bhi unhone lekhan kiya hai. Unka sahitya samkaleen samay ke prashnon se takrata hua, satta, samaj aur vyakti ke beech ke jatil sambandhon ko ujagar karta hai.

Shambhu Kumar Thakur ka lekhan kisi ek dhaara ya khanche mein seemit nahi hai. Unki rachnayein samvedansheelata, bauddhik imaandari aur nagarik vivek ka sanyojan hain, jo unhe samkaleen sahitya mein ek vishisht sthan pradan karti hain.
