“Navigating the Quartz Forest” by Biman Roy is a collection of poems from a father to his beloved daughter. Each dreamlike lyric in this masterpiece is charmingly paired with a small handwritten note hastily jotted down on blue-lined notebook paper-artifacts from his daughter’s life outside the family home.
These notes, like snippets of overheard conversations taken from their original environments, crystallize into the seeds of new poetry. The poems work as interpreters for these rather ominous signals from an unknown world of adolescent gossip and pop culture references, putting the parts together like a shattered mirror and filling in the jagged-edged spaces with the poet’s broad imagination.
Biman Roy was interviewed by Benji Cole of CBS Radio to talk about the author’s message and inspiration for the book. Click on this link to listen to the full interview: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rK3CRJZf5HE.
