For our Elements episode we were lucky enough to collaborate with two enormously talented groups of artists, Sylvan Esso and Emotive Fruition. Sylvan Esso composed "Jaime's Song", Emotive Fruition called out to its community of poets and asked for work inspired by the periodic table. Dozens of poets responded, and those poems were then performed by a group of actors in front of a live audience. We loved the work but only had room for a small sampling of the poems in the episode, so here now is the full evening.

Thomas Dooley is the creator of Emotive Fruition and he writes: "Emotive Fruition wants to change the way people experience live poetry. When we bring together poets and actors, a kind magic happens: the poems written on the page come to life on stage. When Jad and Robert asked us to put together an evening of poems that celebrated the elements, we got to work to assemble a chorus of voices as varied as the table itself. Enjoy these atomically funny, heartbreakingly geeky, and soul stirring elemental poems."

Curated and directed by Thomas Dooley.
