“Miss Manhattan” by Biman Roy truly captures the richness of diversity and the simultaneity of life happening in New York. The text is rich, tumbling, and layered, yet never chaotic, as the sensations of people, cars, birds, flowers, and all forms of city life cascade around the speaker’s (and reader’s) attention.
This book was also commended by Jonah Meyer of the US Review of Books, who acknowledges, “The true draw of these poetic selections, elements sure to please any reader appreciative of rich imagery and narrative, lies in the casual observations of NYC people, places, and happenings. In the poem “Only Here,” for example, Roy writes: “When I walk in the shade of a side street, / a pizza deliveryman bicycles past my dreaming self / with a red and blue cape, and a young woman / wearing a blooming magnolia blouse bends over / through her second-floor window and reads / from War and Peace loudly to the crowd below.” Later, in “Picasso at the Park,” the author writes of the “wind over the Hudson,” describing the “soft, moist grass of Central Park.” A showing of Picasso’s paintings features women, wandering animals, violin and guitar, all “signs of life on earth.”
