Elegy for Opportunity<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Hamilton: Wolsak & Wynn, 2025.
PS8623.I477 E44 2025<\/a>
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Publisher’s Synopsis (From its website)<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

In her debut collection, Natalie Lim asks: How do we go on living and loving in a time of overlapping crises? Anchored by elegies for NASA\u2019s Opportunity rover and a series of love poems, this collection explores the tension and beauty of a world marked by grief through meditations on Dungeons & Dragons, Taylor Swift\u2019s cultural impact, the all-engulfing anxiety of the climate crisis and more. Confessional, funny and bursting with joy, Elegy for Opportunity<\/em> extends a lifeline from Earth that will leave you feeling comforted, challenged and a little less alone in the universe.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
