Fifteen billion years ago, there was nothing, not even light.
Now, we live in a universe that plays host to trillions of galaxies with uncountable stars, worlds and maybe even other life.
Us From Nothing recounts this epic tale in prose poems that are carefully grounded in historical fact.
The result is a poetic retelling of history that challenges us to think deeply not only about where we’ve come from, but also about where we’re going.
"This book, like all great books, reframes reality, imagines unbelievable true stories, and by doing so creates for us a richer way of apprehending the world."
– Patrick Madden, author of Disparates
