"It was a wonderful experience interacting with you and appreciate the way you have planned and executed the whole publication process within the agreed timelines.”
Subrat SaurabhAuthor of Kuch Woh Pal
In Ishan Khurana’s debut poetry book, One at a Time, the author takes readers through the various stages of his life as he bares his soul through his words. The collection is made up of 25 poems that touch on the author's personal beliefs, abstract concepts, and delve on themes such as the three stages of being: birth, life and death.
While the collection is autobiographical in nature, the author invites readers to engage in dialogue with the concepts brought forth, and to reflect on what the collection means to them personally. Through his works, the author also hopes to help readers become more aware of their thoughts and emotions, so that they can better understand their inner self.
We might be
strangers
who walk
different paths
guided by
our unique minds
But in the journey
of living our lives
the emotions
we feel
are the same
Walk along
and allow me
to express mine
one at a time
The book's cover artwork is by the author. The 25 chambers of the Nautilus shell refer to the 25 poems within the collection. The center of the shell has three crescent moons that represent the three stages of being. The abstract background behind the shell depicts a blend of beautiful colours of the sky.
