“a distillation of voluntary mutilation”

Women don’t necessarily go around bragging about their brand new vaginas, but these moments of honesty are what make Cook’s concoction a voracious critique, sometimes cheering for and sometimes against “snazzy tassels atop her misshapen meat curtain.”

A quote from Dolly Lemke's new review of my poetry chapbook Thirteen Designer Vaginas.

More Creative Post-Xmas/Pre-New Year Poetry Morsels

My Thirteen Designer Vaginas are a “half-repulsed pursuit of knowledge and self-knowledge”

A new review of my Thirteen Designer Vaginas – at fiddler crab – thanks to Kathleen Kirk.

Here is a snippet:

“rich in humor and wordplay, but also rather frightening in what they suggest about what can be done surgically to alter or repair women’s nether parts.”

Thirteen Designer Vaginas (a meatier variety)

Another wonderous new small press called Hyacinth Girl Press has now published there very first poetry chapbook - and that chapbook is my own Thirteen Designer Vaginas!

It was the browsing of vaginal rejuvenation sites that inspired me to start writing my designer vagina poems. I got grossed out by the photos and medical notations and wondered what the heck I was looking for and then realized that I was conducting "poetry research"!

Don't you want to delve into some scrumdilicious pussy poems?

Snip snip pivot! Vaginatical! Va Va Voom!

Read a sneak peak snippet below; partake of a cover image; and then purchase your own new vaginas via another bit of linkage underneath!

My pink scalloped lips part, a meatier variety
of snapdragon. A strange but effective treatment
is meat tenderizer. Then I’m so deliciously numb,
it’s like tying phantom limbs to four horses & performing
surgery, as an audience applauds those delicately trembling lobes.



Get one here:http://www.etsy.com/listing/76985283/thirteen-designer-vaginas-by-juliet-cook

Or here: http://hyacinthgirlpress.wordpress.com/

Several copies will soon be available from within my own Blood Pudding Press etsy shop too so stay tuned if interested in that.
