My Malformed Confetti has found another new home (in front of Disney Land)!

Kristin Garth received her copy of my poetry book, "Malformed Confetti" (published by Crisis Chronicles Press, late 2018) and placed it in front of Disney Land.

I hope she likes her fairy tales, princes, and princesses to be pretty warped (I know she does)...

A wonderful NEW review of my Malformed Confetti!

"This book of poetry is a language feast. Alliterative, assonant, associative...An aural smorgasbord. "I'm a slab on a slab, a plait on a plate, a poorly shorn lamb on the lam." Verbal slapstick mixed with high seriousness. Poems like acts of dissection exposing the viscera of femininity. Cook has wicked fun lobotomizing and surgically removing the pretty, cute, and adorable from her little dollies, subjects of her macabre ICU"

MALFORMED CONFETTI has found another new home!

"...They weren’t anybody else’s
art project.  They were mine.
I poked holes to try to drain them,
but they just bubbled up into more
ghost ignitions. They are mine,

but they don’t come when called.
They come whenever they want to.
When they come I have to balance
rickety dishes of spoiled milk upon
precarious ledges..."

from the poem Parasitic Twin, within my poetry book 'Malformed Confetti'.

this photo was taken by Thursday Simpson, who received a copy of the Malformed Confetti!

MALFORMED CONFETTI beside my own googly eyed doll

"This one is not a still-life, but it might as well be
because I'm trapped inside
this battered bisque pate; these googly eyes
tilted sideways. Stuck off-kilter."

inside my poem "Doll Head Obscenity", inside my new poetry book, "Malformed Confetti", published by Crisis Chronicles Press, October 2018.
