In Praise of Limes details Shirley’s Geok-lin Lim’s experiences as an immigrant in America through an ecocritical lens. Her poems remind us that we have a place in an interconnected world, that the climate disaster we witness, the rage, loneliness, and confusion we feel, the struggles and hardship we share affect not only humanity but all of nature and its non-human beings.
