Against the backdrop of the climate catastrophe we find ourselves in, the speaker of these poems goes on a journey of self-discovery in a time of multiple crises. Peeling away layer by layer, the speaker reveals their self and creates room to grow and branch out, but always in close connection with nature and the environment, as no life can exist without an intact planet Earth.

Witch/Womb (BookHub Publishing, 2024)
“Witch/Womb” is a portal to the past, a celebration of women’s strength, and a quest for personal growth. The poems tell stories of resilience, birth and rebirth. By reclaiming their story, previously unheard voices give testament to the untameable spirit of witches throughout history— those who dared to defy conventions, challenge norms, and carve their own paths, despite the odds stacked against them. Each page in this book traces a transformative journey of empowerment, and some poems just might hold a spell.
Hennemann reaches deep into the fertile heart of the interior, bringing up the whisper of an ancient tongue. Listen. Let it haunt you. — Nidhi Zak/Aria Eipe Playful, haunting, engrossing, Christina Hennemann's Witch/Womb draws on law, testimony, lore and tarot in its exploration of the cyclical struggle between the figure of the witch and those who hunt her. Dextrous and inventive with form, these poems seek to burrow through to deeper truths about gender and power, uncovering modern day witch hunts, and revealing the ability of words to not only cast spells but structure the world we inhabit. — Grace Wilentz This chapbook was kindly funded with an Agility Award from Arts Council Ireland.
