Grace Kujur worked at All India Radio, where she retired from the Directorate General in 2008. She has been writing poetry since the 1960s, and has published in many newspapers and magazines, though no full collection of her poetry has yet appeared. 

A small collection of her poems in Hindi can be found here.

We have translated one of her poems ("Waiting") here. It deals with land right and displacement in Jharkhand.
