Model Arts and Crafts - Model Hog Heaven - Art Barn Torture - Like A Tortured Clown Funny.
Two Industrial Arts models heads fused together,
jaws welded into an
experimental act of inertia.
Their brains were
off-kilter anyway,
before their necks
were snapped.
So what if they're
dead? Now they can be parts
of something
greater, parts of the whole art barn.
This barn reeks of
death.

A NEW Review by Vin Whitman of my poetry book, Malformed Confetti!
"This is a magnum opus of gore, so if you don't like smears, streaks, spills and spews perhaps this is not for you. I rather enjoyed it though. Juliet Cook harnesses her wild streams-of-consciousness into powerful rivulets of alliteration and rhythm. There is also a healthy dose of clever wordplay, which made the auditory centers of my brain sing."

New! My poem "Sometimes I Stay Quiet, So I Don't Launch An Attack" appears in Writing In A Woman's Voice today!
"Even if I dislike or disagree, I have a hard time
thinking I can end something by quickly hitting a button,
tossing them into an online pile of trash.
Maybe I give too many multiple choice chances
to rancid meat or maybe I don't give enough.
Maybe I am too messed up and broken
and divided into conflicted fragments"

New! Three collaborative poems by Juliet Cook and Darryl Shupe in Menacing Hedge!
I am delighted to share the new Fall 2021 Issue of Menacing Hedge, in which Darryl Shupe and I have three of our collaborative poems appearing, surrounded by lots of other creative oddities!
The three collaborative poems are entitled, "Deep-fried Model Faces Sold Here", "Double Deep-fried Giblets", and "Bloody Rubber Chicken" and are part of a small series we're working on.
"I cracked open the caged runway models who were not allowed
to wear anything other than dirty sheep wool.
Whose teeth and tongues had been removed to make room
for more nasty spittle."
(from the poem "Deep-fried Model Faces Sold Here")

"It's your fault for pulling an ex-friend's hair out
of the bathtub drain and placing the hair on a condescending letter
as if you were better than them because you didn't shove your own hair
down that drain. Instead you obsessively hacked your own hair off
and stuck it inside a tiny garbage can with the bathroom door locked."

"Ponytails might induce seizures, but you don't care,
because you've been growing out your hair
for your own reasons, for a decade or more.
Sure, sometimes you'll get pissed off and rip
some of your own hair out and fling it
in some woman's face or on her floor
or in her garbage can..."

New! My poem "My Teeth Have Been Loose For Years" appears in Rogue Agent, Issue 77!
"The lineup of blood
drenched animal crackers
is hiding deep down underneath
so many tiny broken beds.
Scared little girls can only gain control
if they turn into different creatures
if they bite off the heads and spit."
the beginning of my poem MY TEETH HAVE BEEN LOOSE FOR YEARS, in the NEW Issue 77 of Rogue Agent!
Very excited to have my poem included!

New! Two of my poems appear in the new issue of Misfit Magazine! - "Some people want to remove your eyes" and one of my FLESH WORLD poems...
I feel pretty strongly about these two poems of mine that appear in the new Issue No. 32, Spring 2021 of Misfit Magazine!
Below is a link to my two poems - "Some people want to remove your eyes" and one of my FLESH WORLD poems (from a small series).

I hope a few people read them. 💜 I've been feeling kind of invisible lately (and having a hard time trusting other people).
However, even if hardly anyone reads them, I am still proud of them for my own reasons.

Excited to share that Martin Willitts Jr. and I have a collaborative poem, "My Computer is Plotting Against Me", surrounded by all sorts of other interesting art and writing in Pinky Thinker Press, Issue No. 2!

before flushing the debris and call that found poetry.
I cut off my cat hair and rabbit tail, toss it
in the next bowl and call it dessert.
A recipe for disaster might be a gourmet chef

P.S. For anyone who hasn't looked at Pinky Thinker yet, one thing that really makes this new magazine stand out uniquely is that it includes all kinds of artsy dance choreography and Screendances. It offers dance art alongside visual art, collage art, and word art (poetry, stories, screenplays). A big part of the reason I sent poetry to this publication was because I don't think I've ever been in a magazine that has poetry appearing right next to contemporary dance performance art and I thought that was really cool. I'm not a great dancer, but I love artsy dance choreography and see/feel it as another form of creative/poetic expression that can go hand in hand with poetry and so I am delighted that Pinky Thinker is exploring this!
