Every year, the Los Angeles Times Festival of Books becomes livelier and brighter thanks to the growing number of attendees. From book lovers, casual readers, and literary collectors to authors and publishers, people gathered to celebrate literacy.
The largest book festival in the US opened its doors last April for a glamorous two-day weekend celebration with the bookworms. Held at the University of Southern California, a large number of book enthusiasts, book lovers, and book collectors, as well as writers, established authors, and many more, attended the free event.
A lot of festival attendees went by the Citi of Books booth to check for their next read and potential favorite book. One of the books that were chosen is “Dinosaur Hour” by Biman Roy. It was displayed on April 20th and 21st at the Los Angeles Times Festival of Books at the University of Southern California.
Biman Roy has been writing poetry for the past three decades and has been widely published. His writing has been nominated for Best of the Net and Pushcart awards. His poetry chapbook, Of Moon and Washing Machine, has been selected for publication by Uncollected Press. He is a psychiatrist by profession, serves as a consultant in a hospital in New York, and lives in Ridgewood, New Jersey.
Biman Roy’s poetry collection, “Dinosaur Hour,” explores the harsh realities of nature and how describing its violence can be cathartic. Roy’s beautiful language paints a picture of our broken world, using silence between words to capture the isolation we sometimes feel. The poems delve into complex themes like longing, the passage of time, and what it means to be human. If you enjoy poetry that wrestles with life’s big questions, Dinosaur Hour is worth checking out.
