Also too, here's a recent review of my CONTORTED DOOM CONVEYOR. Thank you very muck to Cat Russell!

"If you love creepy visceral poetry, Juliet Cook is the best poet you could possibly read! Imagery from your worst nightmares combined with vulnerability and insight, you're sure to love this book."

A NEW Review of my poetry chapbook, CONTORTED DOOM CONVEYOR!

Also appearing in the Winter 2024 Issue of Misfit Magazine is a review of my poetry chapbook, Contorted Doom Conveyor (Gutter Snob Books, 2023)!

Thank you very much to Alan Catlin for this uniquely wonderful review!

"So how do you know you are in the crazy world of Juliet Cook? Just step onto the doom conveyor belt and you enter a world of dolls, pieces of them, whole ones, effigies, doll graveyards, of a sort, and well just about anything you can think of short of Anne’s porcelain doll collection (Anne as in Anne Rice who famously collected some pretty scary ones). Basically, Juliet’s world is one of hallucinatory conjunctions, Bob Dylan surreality from his early Rimbaud infused years, sick bags, like Nick Cave, free floating dread like being in a David Cronenberg movie, watching a “Naked Lunch” while lying on Freud’s couch ( Sigmund or Lucien’s, take your pick), under the influence of a peyote dream, high flying whiles suffering new pill side effects. Juliet’s voice is decidedly and uniquely her own. I love it."

filled with morbid clone cadavers,

shoved down throats like a bloody rainbow, soundless"

"Try this pill until you run out of power.

Let your body and brain get used

to this manufacturer's version of this pill,

and then you will be switched to another

like your brain is just a light switch

like your brain is just a plug

like your brain is just a hole in the wall

hotel room with a bath tub that doesn't work anymore.

So you either die underwater or else

you'll have to handle new pill side effects again

and again and again and again and again.

Sometimes I feel like I'm on a bad dream carousel,

moving in rickety circles, taking turns

sitting on different unnatural broken animals."

"You can't throw away an open wound.

You can't stop it from dripping until it pours
down every ceiling in this house, every room you enter
even though you pretend to feel safe and able to stick
it into one room's drain. What if that drain never unclogs?"

in the poem "THROWING IT AWAY DOESN'T MEAN IT DIDN'T HAPPEN" in my new poetry chapbook, CONTORTED DOOM CONVEYOR, published by Gutter Snob Books in July 2023.

"I can tell you the leeches and parasites inside me / have always joined forces with confetti" (inside my CONTORTED DOOM CONVEYOR)...

"I can tell you the leeches and parasites inside me
have always joined forces with confetti.
My glittery brain waves rip the bandages off,
bite back, then cover the wounds with more words.

My mental kaleidoscope collides with another Martini.
I like it sweet and I like it strong. My drinking buddy
is a hot pink narwhal named Mister Melodramatosis."

A NEW review of my "CONTORTED DOOM CONVEYOR" poetry chapbook!

Thank you very much to James Lawson Moore for his new review of my new poetry chapbook, "CONTORTED DOOM CONVEYOR", newly published by Gutter Snob Books!

"Juliet Cook’s latest chapbook, “Contorted Doom Conveyor,” is a brilliant attempt at misdirection. Through deceptively simply structured verses the author uses deceptively bubblegum-induced imagery to describe the passions, the longings, and the inner demons of a war torn mind. The war is fought completely on the internal—the soul at war with itself as it seeks comfort from the madness.

I cannot recommend this book highly enough. Please check it out."

"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)

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.
