The Me in I-Diptendu Roy

Book: The Me in I
Author: Diptendu Roy
Publisher: White Falcon Publishing

The Me in I by Diptendu Roy is a collection of 13 poems that are emotional and vary across themes from love, to self-realization to spirituality. The poems are written in the first person and vary in the meter from poem to poem and sometimes within the stanzas as well. I liked the poems An Ode to the Four! ,  Why I write and Tell her tattletale!. While these poems were good, the length of the poems is a put off as the theme gets lost while you are reading the poem. Some of the poems are just prose written in a meter, which takes away the overall charm of the book. The language is good, but at times the words seem to have been forced into the lines and do not do justice to their location.


Overall, a decent book that scores a 3/5 for me.
