But I am pleased to have it making an appearance inside buffalo 8!

The snow was a giant womb.
I needed to lie down

and mimic the dreadful truth.
Give birth to something nobody wanted."

I am extremely excited to have FOUR NEW POEMS appearing in Cul-de-sac of Blood!
Extremely delighted to have FOUR NEW POEMS appearing within Cul-de-sac of Blood!
Here's the editors description of the poems - The orbitoclast, a tiny hammerhead shark tap tapping us into place. “I was walking through a parking lot” leads us inevitably, somehow, to “I wasn’t sure if I was human anymore.” A standard red horror. In these poems by frequent contributor Juliet Cook, medically-induced terror finds us where we live
Here's a few lines from the poem "Both Similar and Dissimilar" -
I wasn't sure if I was human anymore.
Maybe I was a goose in labor,
giving birth to a subhuman or else
I was in the middle of aborting my own brain
inside another terrible dream, trapped
underneath a seeping blue machine
shaped like a giant pill container
with cracked slots that don't keep anything inside.
Also, underneath the four poems, you can click on a link to learn a little bit more about the poems, such as what inspired them...

Another NEW (Mini) Review of my Newest Poetry Chapbook, "Your Mouth Is Moving Backwards"
Thank you very much to James Lawson Moore for his mini-review (and photo) of my newest poetry chapbook, "Your Mouth Is Moving Backwards" (published by Ethel Zine & Micro-Press in December 2023).
Read his whole review below and consider getting a copy of this chapbook for yourself (or for a poetry loving friend) from one of the links below.
From the Ethel shop - https://www.ethelzine.com/shop/your-mouth-is-moving-backwards-by-juliet-cook

"Juliet’s new chapbook is a limited run, handmade release, out by Ethel Zine & Micro Press. The poems therein are as much influenced by Twin Peaks as they are by the poet’s own inner turmoil. This is art of the bizarre and the horrific, and yet it’s strangely beautiful in its vulnerability. This is a book that cannot be missed.
Juliet Cook is JLM approved, with a bottle of Coke."
