A collection of poetry about trauma, memory, and identity, published in 2016 by Finishing Line Press.
"The book’s emotional landscape is complex, a real feat given its brevity. No stone of its dark terrain—whether shame, powerlessness, cynicism, or shyness—goes unturned. There’s a bit of Plath in Jannerson’s sensibility, but with less grandiosity and more immediate realism [...] Rabbit Rabbit‘s thematic focus and snapshot-like nature works well. It’s the perfect thing to read in the comfort of your room, any time you’re longing to feel less alone."
~ Melanie Bell, Autostraddle
"Jannerson's poetry is marked by a grace and maturity rarely seen in debut collections. [...] The poetry is pensively exquisite, at times quite stunning."
~ Frank Perez, Ambush
"In negotiating pieces of [them]self with the influence of the outside world, Jannerson offers a portrait in collage, marking an impressive poetic debut."
~ Jessica Morey-Collins, Bayou
"Jannerson's language builds, flares, collapses, and rotates ‘in time with an / arrhythmic heart.’ [They] navigate sorrow, anxiety, and survival with the kind of lyricism that easily invites readers in to explore the ‘mottled, shine-drenched wanderings’ of this strange and beautiful mind."
~ Franny Choi, author of Soft Science
"There’s so much truth and beauty in Rabbit Rabbit’s brevity. Don’t rush. Read and reread Jannerson’s lush, layered poems about the power of holding on to—and letting go of—secrets and lies, mistakes and memories."
~ Megan McCafferty, author of Sloppy Firsts and Bumped
