Another NEW (Mini) Review of my Newest Poetry Chapbook, "Your Mouth Is Moving Backwards"

"This is art of the bizarre and the horrific, and yet it’s strangely beautiful in its vulnerability."

Thank you very much to James Lawson Moore for his mini-review (and photo) of my newest poetry chapbook, "Your Mouth Is Moving Backwards" (published by Ethel Zine & Micro-Press in December 2023).

Read his whole review below and consider getting a copy of this chapbook for yourself (or for a poetry loving friend) from one of the links below.

From the Ethel shop - https://www.ethelzine.com/shop/your-mouth-is-moving-backwards-by-juliet-cook

From the author's own Blood Pudding Press shop - https://www.etsy.com/listing/1653667391/new-your-mouth-is-moving-backwards-a-new

"Juliet’s new chapbook is a limited run, handmade release, out by Ethel Zine & Micro Press. The poems therein are as much influenced by Twin Peaks as they are by the poet’s own inner turmoil. This is art of the bizarre and the horrific, and yet it’s strangely beautiful in its vulnerability. This is a book that cannot be missed.

Juliet Cook is JLM approved, with a bottle of Coke."
