'Paraphernalia' is a fine, capacious handbag/hold-all of a word. Practical as well as attractive, it can stretch to accommodate various kinds of contents. This work features poems that look at the ways in which our bodies and minds, too, can themselves be broken down into odds and ends, can be useful or useless clutter.

The collection of poems delves into serious themes such as envy, guilt, and bereavement, all while employing a humorous tone. Limburg captures the complex experiences of modern women, navigating roles as daughters, mothers, and friends amid external and internal struggles. The poems explore the challenges of maintaining self-identity and emotional well-being in a world fraught with issues like depression, misogyny, and societal pressures, ultimately celebrating resilience and vulnerability.
