Synopsis
This third collection of poems from British poet Limberg commemorates her lost brother and a lost self. Growing up with undiagnosed Asperger's, Limburg identified with Alice from Alice in Wonderland. Another of the book's main sequences, The Oxygen Man, was written in response to the death of Limburg's younger brother, a brilliant chemist who took his own life. In this collection Limburg collages lines and phrases drawn from the two Alice books to create a disturbingly effective language to express the nature, discomfort and alienation of autistic experiences.

About the Author
Joanne Limburg was born in London in 1970, and studied Philosophy at Cambridge. She has since gained an MA in Psychoanalytic Studies, worked as an Associate Lecturer for the Open University, and was the Royal Literary Fund Fellow at Magdalen College, Cambridge, from 2008 to 2010. She won an Eric Gregory Award for her poetry in 1998, and her first book, Femenismo (Bloodaxe Books, 2000), was shortlisted for the Forward Prize for Best First Collection. Her second collection, Paraphernalia (Bloodaxe Books, 2007), was a Poetry Book Society Recommendation. Her third, The Autistic Alice, is published by Bloodaxe in 2017. Her other books include The Woman Who Thought Too Much (Atlantic Books, 2010), a memoir about OCD, anxiety and poetry; Bookside Down: poems for the modern, discerning cyber-kid (Salt Publishing, 2013), an anthology for younger readers; and one novel, A Want of Kindness: a novel of Queen Anne (Atlantic Books, 2015).
Review
'Joanne Limburg's The Oxygen Man is an honest, difficult lurch through the aftermath of the suicide of her brother... This pamphlet expresses a "life goes on" sensibility alongside a grappling with true grief.' - Rachael Allen, Poetry London; 'Limburg's universe appears to be constantly twisting away from perception even as she pins it down in lines of singular economy.' - Poetry Book Society Bulletin
