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

NEW! Su Zi's Review of my Poetry Chapbook REVOLTING!

"The book is a pure example of the chapbook format, and this one has a subtle and elegant presence. Ironic to this perception is the book’s title Revolting (Cul-de-sac of Blood, 2024), the work being a recent offering from Juliet Cook...

...Cook’s style oscillates between the conversational and the surreal without ever being derailed from the poem’s thesis. There’s a fun energy here, a sense of play, even when the topics themselves might not be lighthearted."

a few snippets of Su Zi's new Review of my poetry chapbook "Revolting".

In addition to reviewing my chapbook, the article also focuses on the joy of print poetry chapbooks, discoveries from the online poetry community, the importance of independent presses, and related elements.

"In our times now of needing to prioritize individual makers over global producers, it does a greater good to buy a chapbook..."

Thank you very much to Su Zi for writing this wonderful review/article and thank you very much to GAS: Poetry, Art & Music, and Belinda Subraman for publishing and sharing it!

"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."

"Sometimes we learn the hard way

 that some mice will eat their own babies

like sadistic cannibals, leaving nothing but half a body
attached to a head that will always live inside mine."

in the first poem ("From Hormone Imbalance to Death") within my NEW chapbook, "REVOLTING" (very recently published by Cul-de-sac of Blood).

I'm sharing a few more photos of this chapbook, as well as this whole poem here.

The next time you assume
that I worship the same way as you,
all the wall hangings will violently crash,
all the splayed remnants will come back to life
in different incarnations. Thirteen mice

you killed without thinking twice
will emerge from my mouth, convulsing,
convoluted, hurling into screaming incantations,
their tiny skulls temporarily paralyzing you,
so that you can't keep on ignoring me.

a small excerpt from my poem "Thirteen Mice", which appears inside REVOLTING
