Chronicity

"Michael J. Leach’s Chronicity moves us conceptually and emotionally through experiences of chronic pain, with the accuracy of a scientist and the wisdom of a poet. Diagnosing maladies of bone, blood and brain, this collection presents a dazzling poetry pillbox filled with contemplative remedies for our troubles."
—A/Prof. Jessica L. Wilkinson

“Art & Matter, Medicine & Light are here expressed as interchangeable endeavours. Excited electrons gripped in a magnetic field, the poems Leach generates are manifest as emotionally charged waveforms.”
—Dr Tim Metcalf

"Chronicity is a collection that hovers on the borderlands of science and the soul. It weaves logic with emotion, and knowledge with wisdom. It is a shapeshifter, taking us on the eight minute and 20 second journey of invisible cosmic travellers of energy arriving on the earth across the cosmos, or following a paracetamol tablet as it enters the gut and dissolves into the bloodstream...It implores us that a more interdisciplinary, holistic approach is needed to truly begin to understand and save our world."
