By A Night Fire is author & musician Gaurav Krishnan's third poetry book, after his other poetic efforts, The Indian Night & Interludes To The Indian Buddha & his non-fiction book Make Your Own Waves. This book echoes a man's journey & transition from youth to the more contemplative, reflective years of getting older. Based on Gaurav's poetic influences in Jim Morrison, Charles Bukowski, Jack Kerouac & others, the book draws on Gaurav's influences, both literary & in other arts. The book is written in a new-age style of writing poetry, drawing from Jim Morrison's verse everything is broken up and dances. As a writer, film composer & musician, musical themes pervade, but this book conveys a deeper message, striding life, mortality, love, passion, philosophy, art, unique experiences & is an artist's take comprising verses that encompass varied themes & settings, while acknowledging life's impermanence & the fortitude & grit needed to weave past the crests and troughs of life. It's a blunt & brutally honest take on the existential angst we feel in our lives from time to time while offering solace & the broader message of perseverance. As Gaurav says, it's open to interpretation, but the book is meant for all those wanderers, truth-seekers & people who question life & existential dilemmas deeply. The book is meant to provide a contemplative & provocative read whilst travelling, by a quiet setting or a serene view or, as the book's title suggests, By A Night Fire.
