Periodic Poetry: An Unstable Collection
You weren't looking for this.
But here you are. Looking at a book of poems… about the periodic table?
Yeah. I know how that sounds.
But this isn't that book. This is the one that makes people stop mid-scroll and go, Wait. What? And then: Why do I kind of need this?
So what is this, exactly?
It's a book of illustrated poems about elements.
That sounds simple. But it's not.
Inside, you'll find:
- Radioactive girls
- Elements named for goblins
- CIA conspiracies and underwater fire
- Elements that hiss, melt, scream, vanish
- And yes... a poem (or two) including farts
The writing is sharp. The art is strange and gorgeous. The facts are real. The poems are very much poeming.
Who is this for?
This book is for:
- Kids who hoard weird facts like treasure
- Adults who still remember their favorite teacher
- People who like science but don't want it explained with smiley cartoons
- Curious humans who believe poems should include lasers
- Anyone who's ever said, "I don't usually like poetry, but…"
This is "Potassium explodes in water" poetry.
And it's somehow…beautiful?

Why This Book?
Because the world is weird and wonderful. Because chemistry is full of magic we forgot to notice. Because poems can be portals. And because kids (and grownups) deserve writing that doesn't talk down to them.
If this ends up being the book that makes one child fall in love with chemistry… Or one adult say, "That was actually brilliant" — then it's done its job.
Just one strange, beautiful book about the building blocks of everything.
