Some writers chase stories. Others let stories find them. PS Malimath belongs firmly to the second kind. He has spent a lifetime noticing things most people move past. The rhythm of nature. The way people hold on to one another. The quiet strength present in moments of joy, loss, fear and hope. All of this became the foundation of his poetry collection Roots of Love, The Clump of Poems & many others.
What stands out in Malimath’s writing is the depth he brings to the idea of love. He treats it as something alive. Something that grows, shifts, breaks and rebuilds itself in ways we do not always understand. His poems move through the tender and the tough. They look at relationships as a labyrinth where every turn reveals another truth. They remind readers that love is not a single feeling but an entire landscape of emotion.
The journey behind this book began years before the first poem was written. Malimath’s closeness to nature shaped his understanding of connection. His relationships shaped his emotional vocabulary. And his lived experience taught him that love is carried in small moments. A gesture. A silence. A memory. A wound. A promise. These fragments became the soil from which his poems grew.
When BookLeaf Publishing opened the door for him to bring his work to the world, he embraced the opportunity. For him, it felt like permission to let ink flow without restriction. He speaks with gratitude about this part of the journey, acknowledging the role that readers, friends and family played as pillars of encouragement. Their belief in his words helped him trust his own voice more deeply.
Beyond the book, Malimath is widely seen as a storyteller shaped by nature. He observes the world with a kind of softness that shows in every line he writes. His poems pulse with honesty. They ask readers to pause and reflect. They remind us that vulnerability is not weakness but a bridge to connection.
Roots of Love is not just a collection of poems. It is an invitation to explore the complexity of being human. It asks us to look at love from every angle
the comforting parts, the confusing parts, the parts that teach us who we are. And in that exploration, it offers something simple and rare. A sense of companionship. A feeling that someone understands the emotions we often keep hidden.
For anyone who seeks poetry that listens as much as it speaks, Malimath’s work is a place to come home to
