"He said he was so sick of trying, so sick
of hearing my sick voice trying
to force itself into him and so soon
I wouldn't have a voice anymore."

Just send $8.00 (which includes shipping) to Julietcoo@gmail.com via paypal and I'll mail you a copy.

I have a new poetry chapbook available! "From One Ruined Human to Another" by Juliet Cook (new from CWP Collective Press, as of June 2018)!

I am incredibly excited and delighted to announce that I have a NEW poetry chapbook, "From One Ruined Human to Another", newly published and newly available from Cringe-Worthy Poets Collective!

This is my first new poetry chapbook to be published within the last three years, so those of you who hear me read poetry have probably encountered some of these poems in recent years.

For those of you who don't know my poetry, it isn't very pretty. Little girls coalesce into blobs of blood with ripped out hearts. Contaminated tissue, bible cysts, evil spells, slimy pus, disbelief in love, dead birds, dead hearts and other broken parts, doll torsos with broken heads, giant rat traps, stars filled with teeth broken from the molars, at least three different poems with pussy in them, lots and lots of blood and lots and lots of holes.

The chapbook contains 26 hideous pages worth of poems created by me AND two pieces of fantastically wonderful cover art created by poet/artist Craig Firsdon (one on the outside front cover and one on the inside front cover).

I'll share more photos when I receive my own copies of the chapbook (probably sometime next week), but for now I am sharing a link to where you can acquire your very own copy of my new book, and I'm sharing some close up scans of Craig Firsdon's cover art!

If you're into my poetry (or are interested in checking it out), please support the press that chose to publish it!  For only 5 bucks plus shipping, you can get yourself a copy from CWP Collective and have a hand-designed book of 25 dark red poems and two fabulous pieces of unique art right in front of you.

You can also buy other chapbooks from CWP too!

As a small sample, here's the beginning of my poem "After the Lite Brite Died"

"Sometimes I'm not in the mood for light hearted.

Sometimes I'm not in the mood for light.

Sometimes I'd rather sit by myself in the dark.

Sometimes I only want the Lite Brite colors to be dark

red like a rare moon, red like the blood

that will make you back away from this

girl turning into a woman who will not keep her own red flow a secret anymore."

Another New "Fuck Cancer Poems" has found a home!

Dan Denton received his copy of the new "Fuck Cancer Poems" poetry chapbook by Michael Grover (Blood Pudding Press, 2017)!

"Michael Grover has been a friend, a brother, and a poetry teacher/mentor to me for the past couple of years. I’ve watched cancer pretty much kick his ass a few times. I’ve seen him at some pretty low spots in his fight with the big ‘C.’

I’ve also had the pleasure of watching Mike throw a few punches of his own in that battle. Today I got this in the mail. I couldn’t be more proud of him for writing this, and grateful that Blood Pudding Press published it.

You can order your own copy here: https://www.etsy.com/shop/BloodPuddingPress

Thanks Mike. Fuck Cancer!

*footnote* my buddy Craig Firsdon designed the cover"

The First New Review of the New "Fuck Cancer Poems" by Michael Grover (thank you to Christina Brooks)!

A new book review written by Christina M. Brooks of the new "Fuck Cancer Poems" poetry chapbook by Michael Grover (Blood Pudding Press 2017):

"I've never cried thru a book of poetry before but I did with this one. And I still feel teary writing this review. I know the poet personally. Michael is a good friend and has been a staunch supporter of my own poetry from day one. It does make me sad that he is struggling with cancer. And I don't know how long he will be with us. But reading Fuck Cancer Poems that wasn't what brought the tears. What brought the tears was the very penetrating, real writing in it.

Michael has a very rebellious spirit... he sometimes comes off as gruff and combative with people and he has paid a heavy personal cost because of that. But underneath that exterior is a very perceptive, battle weary poetic warrior. His writing has a clarity you don't see very many places or hear from many people anymore. And I think it was that clarity, and the very raw, personal character of these poems that hit me so deeply. I felt these poems. They aren't just about his personal battle with cancer... but a keen eyed look at "cancer" in its other forms too.

Anyway, Thank you Michael Grover for writing these.. and thank you Juliet Cook for publishing them. And thank you to Craig Firsdon for the cover art.

And though they will probably make you cry I highly recommend this book."

Lifted off my shoulders

To work this hard & be this poor"
