“Miss Manhattan” by Biman Roy is now available for purchase
“No air navigates the trees
And a sense of breathlessness
Spreading wings toward Hudson,
New York, come to my lap;
I will soothe you.”
-an excerpt from the book
Author Reputation Press has published a spectacular book of poems entitled “Miss Manhattan” by Biman Roy. This book reflects the beauty of life in the city. “Miss Manhattan” is now available on Amazon, Barnes & Noble, and the ARP website.
Biman Roy has been writing poetry for three decades and has had his work extensively published. His work has been nominated for the Best of the Net and the Pushcart Prize. Biman Roy is the author of two poetry chapbooks, “Dinosaur Hour” and “Navigating the Quartz Forest,” as well as one chapbook of prose poems, “Of Moon and Washing Machine.” He is a psychiatrist by profession and works as a consultant at a New York hospital. He lives in Ridgewood, New Jersey.
“Miss Manhattan” captures the richness of diversity as well as the simultaneity of life in New York. The text is rich, tumbling, and layered but never chaotic, as the speaker’s (and reader’s) attention is drawn to people, cars, birds, flowers, and all aspects of city life. This one-of-a-kind collection ingeniously depicts the natural resonance of city life in a beautiful, cheerful, and occasionally chaotic manner, but always with a sense of life and creative energy rather than destruction or entropy. Even as they represent an external and collective experience, these poems exist in the individual body.
