The captivating collection of poetry “Miss Manhattan” masterfully depicts the vibrant and varied pulse of life in the Big Apple, New York City. This piece of art is a celebration of creativity and vitality, capturing the spirit of the city and demonstrating how it exists within each individual.
Author Biman Roy is a psychiatrist by profession and works as a consultant at a New York hospital. He lives in Ridgewood, New Jersey. He has been writing poetry for the past three decades and has been widely published.
His work has received nominations for the Best of the Net and the Pushcart Prize. Biman Roy is the author of one chapbook of prose poems, Of Moon and Washing Machine, and two other poetry chapbooks, Dinosaur Hour and Navigating the Quartz Forest.
“Miss Manhattan,” a newly published book, 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.
