NEW! Excited and delighted to have a new poem running around the darkly delicious Cul-de-sac of Blood!

"Old doll head cracked with
evil fossil stuck inside
like expired cream

filling spilling out."

in my poem "Another Pie in the Face"

Delighted this poem is running around the darkly delicious Cul-de-sac of Blood track, HERE! - https://www.culdesacofblood.com/juliet-cook-5

I have now added a few copies of my latest poetry chapbook, "Revolting" to my Blood Pudding Press shop, in case anyone might be interested in procuring one there.

Of course it is still available from the small press that published it, Cul-de-sac of Blood too.

Feel free to let me know if you have any questions...

"We found its dead body inside a kitchen cabinet,
skinny, curled to one side, and all alone.
Sometimes we learn the hard way

that other people think we're overreacting
by getting really upset when a little pet dies,
as if it should be easy to replace

one little pet with another little pet
or one spouse with another spouse.
As if death is not the end of everything."

Some lines from the poem "From Hormone Imbalance to Death", the first of thirteen poems which appear within my latest poetry chapbook, "Revolting".

Revolting is now available in the Blood Pudding Press shop HERE - https://www.etsy.com/listing/1851916682/new-revolting-by-juliet-cook-2024-poetry

"When your New Year begins
with having another person's judgments rained down upon you,
as if attempting to shrink you
closer to her
by insinuating
that your own style is unclean,
dirty, every room in your house filled with unacceptable
mold. The mold takes precedence
over your poetry. The mold must be focused upon
more than your poetry."

in the poem "A Moldy Bathtub Is a Sin and You Must Repent Forever, Because She Said So" (which appears within my REVOLTING chapbook)

"This is such a good book. Rips off the scab and gives the wound oxygen. Some of Cook's best work."

A little Goodreads Review of REVOLTING. Thank you very much to John Burroughs!

Still very excited and delighted about my recent poetry chapbooks!!!!

1 Year Ago, in 2023, I was very excited and delighted and grateful to have three different new poetry chapbooks published by three different independent small presses!

"red flames burning out" was published by Grey Book Press and is still available from them here - http://www.greybookpress.com/2023/04/07/internal-suffocation/ or from my own Blood Pudding Press shop here - https://www.etsy.com/listing/1474135657/red-flames-burning-out-a-poetry-chapbook

"CONTORTED DOOM CONVEYOR" was published by Gutter Snob Books and is now out of stock/out of print from Gutter Snob but I still have a very few copies available here - https://www.etsy.com/listing/1527609127/contorted-doom-conveyor-a-poetry
