Books by Joanne Limburg

The poems in Bookside Down are written about and for 21st Century children, who are into their friends, the TV, Wiis, DS's, computers, collectibles and things that make them laugh. The aim is to entertain children, while giving them a good idea of how many weird and wonderful things poetry can do.

Poems of a lost self and a lost brother. Growing up with undiagnosed Asperger's, Limburg identified with Alice from Alice in Wonderland. Another of the book's main sequences was written in response to her brother's suicide.

An ambitious, absorbing and authentic historical novel which reimagines Anne's life from child princess in the glittering Restoration court to Queen of England.

Joanne Limburg wears comic camouflage to stalk serious subjects, from envy and guilt to bereavement and its tangled aftermath. Her often boisterous poems celebrate the defiant vulnerability of modern women, exploring their lives as daughters, mothers, friends and rivals. Shortlisted for the Forward Prize Best First Collection.
