Chords in the Soundscapes is a full-length collection of nonfiction poetry about sounds and emotions. This collection is divided into two interrelated sections: The Science of Music, which focuses more on the technical side of music and sounds more generally, and Love Notes, which focuses more on emotions such as love and grief. Connections between Leachs life and songs from diverse genres are conveyed through various poetry types, from ghazals to prose poems, forming a cycle of deeply personal and human reflections
