When Dinosaur Hour first arrived in November 2020, it entered the world quietly, like a whisper in a storm. Four years later, its voice feels more urgent than ever. Penned by poet and psychiatrist Biman Roy, the collection confronts the stark dualities of human existence—love and loss, violence and silence, nature as both sanctuary and threat.
Roy’s poems are anything but pastoral idylls. Instead, they reframe nature as a mirror for human vulnerability and mortality: brutal, tender, and unflinchingly honest. Each page unfolds like a wound carefully examined, where beauty coexists with dread, and silence carries as much weight as sound. It is a collection that has aged into its own prescience, speaking directly to an era wrestling with fragility and resilience.
Critical Voices Still Echo
The book continues to draw admiration. Michael Waters praises its “passion-scalded” language, poems “evanescent as the breath of moon through a chiffon curtain,” while Kallie Falandays calls it a “brutal pastoral” filled with “gorgeous phantasmagoria” that redefines the Romantic tradition.
A Timeless Read
Though first released in late 2020, Dinosaur Hour feels evergreen—its explorations of violence, absence, and longing as relevant today as at its launch. For readers seeking poetry that unsettles, illuminates, and ultimately restores, this collection remains indispensable.
Availability
Dinosaur Hour is available on Amazon in print edition. For those who missed its first wave of acclaim—or those ready to return for a deeper reading—now is the time to discover (or rediscover) Roy’s arresting vision. Revisit Dinosaur Hour today on Amazon—because its message is as necessary now as when it first debuted.
