Magnificent Chaos

<p>Written during a time in my life when I was experiencing a number of life changing events these poems express a fragile yet scientific outlook on survival and existence. In 2006 I was going through Chemotherapy for cancer finishing a PhD in Applied Physics and had a newborn daughter. Poetry became not just an outlook for my otherwise very literal work as a scientist but an important part of my identity. 15 of these poems have been reviewed or published in journals. This is the first time they appear together as a recorded history of the artistic journey of discovering some of life's biggest challenges.</p>
