Summary of Elegy for Opportunity
What if the end of the world still left room for joy, love—and Taylor Swift?
In Elegy for Opportunity, Natalie Lim navigates the strange, beautiful mess of being alive right now—with a heart full of grief, a head full of questions, and a soft spot for Dungeons & Dragons. From mourning a lost Mars rover to falling in love amid existential dread, these poems speak directly to you—the one scrolling through news cycles and love songs, trying to make sense of it all. With wit, warmth, and wild imagination, Lim offers a collection that comforts and confronts in equal measure. If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed by the chaos of everything and still wanted to laugh, cry, and keep going—this book was written for you.
