"Shayar-e-Umeed" Sumit ji ka pehla kavya sangrah hai. Yeh sangrah paathakon ko mehsoos karaayegi ki kaise kuch gehre jazbaat hamare jeevan se jude hote hain. Yeh pustak unki apni zindagi ke anubhavon se prerit hai. Ismein likhi gayi kavitaayein paathakon ke mann mein aasani se utar jaati hain. Lekhak ka maksad apne bhaavon ko kavitaon ke roop mein paathakon tak ek saral aur prabhaavshali tareeke se pahunchana tha – jise unhone safalta se anjaam diya hai.
