Entire world of undergrad poetry (8)
I believe the answer is:
universe
'entire world' is the definition.
'universe' can be an answer for 'world' (synonyms). I'm not certain of the 'entire' bit.
'undergrad poetry' is the wordplay.
'undergrad' becomes 'uni' (I can't justify this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'poetry' becomes 'verse' (synonyms).
'uni'+'verse'='UNIVERSE'
'of' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for universe that I've seen before include "Everything, really" , "The whole world" , "The earth and all the heavenly bodies" , "Everything that exists, everywhere" , "Sphere of thought" .)
