In a world that often celebrates noise, If My Heart Could Speak: Poems that Speak what Silence Couldn’t dares to give voice to the quietest corners of the human heart. Co-authored by Bhagabat Malik and Kanhu Charan Rout, this evocative collection of poetry emerges as a powerful testimony to pain, love, loss, and resilience—emotions we all feel, yet rarely express.
This book is not just a compilation of verses. It is a sanctuary for the unspoken. A space where the echoes of heartbreak, unexpressed love, and silent suffering find a home. Each poem resonates with readers who have experienced emotional stillness—the kind that lingers even after the tears stop flowing. Through poetic expressions, the authors delve deep into themes of solitude, grief, strength, and healing, making every page feel like a heartfelt conversation with a long-lost friend.
At the heart of this emotional tapestry is Bhagabat Malik, a PhD scholar in Economics at Utkal University. Originally from Bhadrak, Odisha, Bhagabat brings to his writing a rare blend of academic depth and emotional sensitivity. With previous academic degrees from Ravenshaw University (M.A.) and Utkal University (M.Phil.), he has mastered the art of weaving introspection and intellect into heartfelt poetry. His poems speak from the quiet spaces within us all—where feelings are raw, and words are scarce. For those who have ever loved silently or borne pain without complaint, his poetry is a mirror to their soul.
Joining him in this literary journey is Kanhu Charan Rout, a finance professional with a poetic soul. Kanhu is not only an experienced educator but also an accomplished academic, holding an MBA and M.Com in Finance. He has served at prestigious institutions including the Indian Institutes of Management (IIMs), and holds certifications from elite global universities such as the University of Pennsylvania, Rice University, ISB, and Wharton. Yet beyond his professional excellence lies a writer who understands the human heart deeply. His poetry bridges logic with emotion, creating verses that are intellectually rich and emotionally profound.
If My Heart Could Speak is more than a title—it is a promise. A promise that in these pages, the readers will find not only poetry but also healing. The collection serves as a reminder that even in silence, there is a language. Even in pain, there is beauty. And even in the most hidden emotions, there is truth worth sharing.
As the book makes its entry into the literary world, it stands as a companion for all those who have ever felt unseen, unheard, or misunderstood. With its heartfelt themes and lyrical sincerity, this book is sure to touch the hearts of readers across generations.
