"But our conundrum is that it is all grotesquely pretty: the toxic therapists, (who are the real monsters,) the dolls waiting to suck out our mouths, a microwave that restarts itself every four seconds, the brains hungering for escape but trapped in skull prisons. The red ooze we are afraid to witness splatter on the wall, but we also cannot look away." (a snippet of the blurb which appears below)

Thank you very much to Jason O'Toole for sharing my newest poetry chapbook, "red flames burning out" on Twitter and saying this about it:

"Mail day brought the new chapbook by the extraordinary @nonvanilla - she's not only an excellent poet - she produces beautiful chapbooks and supports other poets.

The poems are among @nonvanilla Juliet's best. It's relentless, searingly honest, and plays with your emotions."

And thank you very much to MISH for recommending "red flames burning out"

Juliet Cook's poetry has appeared in a small multitude of print and online publications. She is the author of numerous poetry chapbooks, recently including "Another Set of Ripped-Out Bloody Pigtails" (The Poet's Haven, 2019), "The Rabbits with Red Eyes" (Ethel Zine & Micro-Press, 2020), "Histrionics Inside my Interior City" (part of Ghost City Press's Summer Micro-Chapbook Series, 2020), and "red flames burning out" (Grey Book Press, April 2023). She also has another new chapbook, "Your Mouth is Moving Backwards" forthcoming from Ethel Zine & Micro Press (tentatively in October 2023).

Cook's first full-length poetry book, “Horrific Confection", was published by BlazeVOX. Her most recent full-length poetry book, "Malformed Confetti" was published by Crisis Chronicles Press in 2018.

Cook's own tiny independent press, Blood Pudding Press, sometimes publishes hand-designed poetry chapbooks.

Cook also sometimes creates abstract painting collage art hybrid creatures.

NEW! Three new poems are making an appearance in the Spring 2023 Issue of Misfit Magazine!

"Some blood is the color of canned cranberry sauce;
other blood is darker inside
and keeps on growing into its own color."

(the beginning of my poem "Thirteen Mice")

I am delighted to have three poems included in the NEW Issue No. 36, Spring 2023 of the fabulous Misfit Magazine!

Two new individual poems by me and one collaboration by j/j hastain and me!

Thank you very much to editor Alan Catlin and all the other poets involved!

Part of Catlin's Introduction to Misfit 36 - "To combat this free form absurdity, malaise, dread, etc. is why we write and read poetry. We have a wide, eclectic range of poets representing all kinds of diversity in voice, tone, and intent. There are the deeply personal poetry of sexual assault to the wildly experimental of Cook and hastain with a little bit of everything else in between."

"they'll all go to Heaven when they croak but I'll go to Hell, at least I'll be special in some way - the black wings of the newborns are torn so they cannot fly - in the flower garden of goodbyes - Lurking toxins accumulating, molecule by molecule, invisible doom seeping up - grisly, no pretty words just drops of blood - as she stands before me in her bloodied apron - Fingernails cut scars across our innocence - A statue shows us frozen in agony - Straining to escape our fate - Now we're all still alive but already I'm alone and it doesn't matter where - drive me toward the pit of flaming oil - the signals of risk, like a nocturnal animal seen fearless and staggering at noon - See the battles going on around them - I mean, so much blood students smear it on themselves - the poor cat who got mauled trying to sneak her way past - Would you think you knew me better if you could see my past and future? - I have not been terrified of dying in a long time - But I am terrified of how numb I am to the idea of dying - Solipsism incarnated in balloons - sleeping with rats on the Commons - I find myself astride Envy and change horses in midstream..."
