In this full-length poetry collection, follow-up to the acclaimed Rabbit Rabbit, Jannerson explores living as a trauma survivor under a hostile administration. Published in 2018, Thanks for Nothing examines the biases of personal experience, the ways in which pop culture infuses one's personal narrative, and the far-reaching repercussions of political upheaval.

“The collection’s images traverse seamlessly among nature, pop-culture, mythos, and political critique. Jannerson’s alliterative and idiosyncratic rendering of firsts—persons, touches, tries—fun-houses the collection’s physics, welcoming readers in the experience of emerging, dizzy but comfortable, from a legacy of hurt.”
~ Jessica Morey-Collins, poet featured in Ploughshares, Poetry, and more

“In [their] poetry collection, Thanks for Nothing, Jannerson considers the subject of isolation in a postmodern culture that delivers nostalgic simulacra, a 'fuzzy femme speakeasy we dreamed,' in place of authentic experience. Lyric poems like 'space between' demand that we put down our phones and abandon our selected avatars to again prove our bodies in the sensual world.”
~ Carolyn Hembree, author of Skinny and Rigging a Chevy into a Time Machine and Other Ways to Escape a Plague
