    About this ebook

    Where Fires Rage is an anthology that reflects his consciousness of the world. As a privileged witness to both
    the brutality and beauty that surrounds us, he has sought to grapple with this paradox of human existence through
    these poems. They are an honest and emotional record of his reactions.

    Sanjay C Kuttan

    Sanjay Kuttan was born in Johor Baru, Malaysia in 1964. He started writing at the age of 15 after being inspired by the publication of his mother, Rosaly Puthucheary’s first collection of poems, Pillow Your Dreams. He moved to Singapore in 1908 and studied at St Joseph’s Institution. As an undergraduate at the National University of Singapore he had his first opportunity to have his poetry published. He completed his PhD in Pharmacology at the same university. He spent much of his working life travelling whilst being employed by ExxonMobil and subsequently McKinsey & Company. He currently works as the Executive Director of the Singapore Maritime Institute after working for the Energy Market Authority (Singapore), DNVGL and the Nanyang Technological University. In the late 90’s he linked up with Stazja McFadyen, editor and publisher of the Austin Poets at Large weekly e-newsletter. Thanks to the internet, Sanjay’s poetry was able to reach a larger audience. Encouraged by Stazja, he continued to write and was published locally as well as abroad in various publications. He published his first anthology of poetry in 2009, “Where Fires Rage” by Straits Times Press. This was after more than a decade of his poems appearing anthologies such as “In Our Own Words – A Generation Defining Itself” Vol 3 (2005) and Vol 8 (2009), “World Healing Book” (2004), “Singa No. 30” (2000), “Bad News Bigolo – Love Edition” (1998) and e-zines Like MAP of Austin Poetry (US)@www.austinmetro.com, The Poets Porch (US) @www.poetsporch.com; Comrade Ezine (UK/US)@www.comrade.org.uk, The Writers Hood (US) @www.writershood.com, and Pachamamapress (US) @www.pachamamapress.com. Recently, his short story “Dying Alone” was published in Balik Kampung Vol 3C (2016) by Books Actually and “From a Simple heart” published in Letters to my Son by Marshall Cavendish (2020). He lives in Singapore with his wife Yip Wai Kuan and two sons Kyran Ming Kuttan and Sachi Ren Kuttan
