There's Cobwebs on Her Vagina: A Collection of Poems
In this collection, Robinson takes deep right hooks at what it is to be a woman in our world. Women are repressed—their voices are dry, their spines crooked, and their spirits walked on. In these pages, Janne breaks women open so they can breathe. Janne was inspired to write the poem “There Are Cobwebs on Her Vagina” after working with a client who was healing the repressed sexual shame from her deeply religious background. She felt suffocated by her client’s story and the stories of women around the world facing oppression, and wrote this poem to reclaim some of the power she believes belongs in the hands of all women. This collection is poetry direct from Robinson’s heart—a set of reflections on her recent life experiences that includes connecting with her long-absent father; finding herself the other woman; discovering, losing and rediscovering her joy and owning that entire process; questioning societal biases and norms; teaching and learning from others to “walk tall”; and making a home inside her truths big enough for us all. Like her first collection, This Is For The Women Who Don’t Give A Fuck , these poems are a spirited exploration, one that will change how you see yourself and view the world around you.

Raw, invigorating, honest and perceptive. She's deep and open. It's not just for entertainment, Janne writes with full disclosures and she means every word she pens. She is all woman and all about women. If you have not read her poetry then you must do so. If you have not witnessed her readings, stop missing them. Go ahead, dive into the deep with Janne.

I love a poetry book that is unapologetic, gritty, and full of poems that make you think, scream, cry, and disagree.
