<p><em>The Universe You Swallowed Whole </em>is a collection of poems that fly from the microcosm of ripples in a lake to the macrocosm of light bending in a black hole from math to jazz from informal to formal from the here-and-now to the hereafter. This short book contains an infinite universe&mdash;one that you will long to return to again and again.&nbsp;</p>
