Here are 165 sonnets inspired by a friend’s asking, after Pluto got plutoed back in 2006, “Does plutonium still get to be an element?” Centering on the discovery and naming of the planets and elements, the sonnets celebrate not only history and science but also romance and myth, embracing both the folly and the nobility of the human experience.
