poetry mini interview (part five)

I am up at poetry mini interview again (Very short interviews with poets, Conducted by Thomas Whyte), where poets offer 5 short answers to 5 short questions, one per week.

Here's my FIFTH and final answer - http://poetryminiinterviews.blogspot.com/2019/04/juliet-cook-part-five.html

(I must have answered this question a while ago, because NOW one of the chapbooks I refer to has had its name slightly changed to "Dark Purple Intersections (inside My Black Doll Head Irises)" and it is DONE and will be revealed VERY SOON - AND the other chapbook I mention, "red circles into nothing" was recently accepted by Clare Songbirds Publishing - AND I created ANOTHER new chapbook and had that one accepted too!)

LOVE CAN BE A CHOKECHERRY / AN INTERVIEW WITH POET JULIET COOK

"She describes her style as, “emotional hailstorms (based on and derived from thoughts/feelings/memories) that are redirected and reshaped into poetry, sometimes more direct and other times more abstract. Often on the dark side.”"

(Thank you very much to Bekah Steimel and Shannon Steimel for conducting this interview with me!)

A NEW Interview with Lauren Gordon about her Blood Pudding Press poetry chapbook, "Fiddle Is Flood" (at THE VOLTA BLOG)

"I love chapbooks. I love reading in small bites. I love the affordability and the art and love put into them. No one is starting a chapbook press because they want to make money. It’s purely for the love of the art...and I was lucky that it won the contest with Blood Pudding Press. The editor, Juliet Cook, makes really lovely handmade chapbooks and I’m so happy with the finished product. It seems like something that is true to the art. I also created the artwork for the cover. It’s a combination of images from a children’s nursery rhyme book from the nineteenth century. Hidden in the scroll-work are the names of my husband and daughter, and the blackbird is homage to Blood Pudding Press’s journal, Thirteen Myna Birds."

NEW Poetry Interview of me at Little Myths!

In addition to the two new wonderful poetry chapbook reviews (see the post below this one), a recent Poetry Interview with me is now live on Little Myths; yay!

This is the first interview conducted by me and the Interviewer (Daniel M. Shapiro) by IMing with each other.

I love who Shapiro added actual links to all the poetry oriented pieces of my bio above the Interview, so click on some of those links to read some of my poetry and find out more.

Then find out what blurted out of me via texting style Interview format here:

New Millenium Interview

Didi Menendez, poet, artist, & editor/publisher extraordinaire of such publications as MiPOesias and Oranges & Sardines is posting interviews with various poets she has published this decade on a blog called 'Poetry: The First Ten Years of the New Millenium'. The ones I've read so far are pretty interesting and she put up a whole small slew of new ones today, including an interview with me:

http://goss183.wordpress.com/2009/12/13/juliet-cook/

In the time between me responding to her q's and her posting my response, my new poetry chapbook FONDANT PIG ANGST became available; for more details, see the entry below.

Here's a mini excerpt from my interview:

"Imprinted somewhere in my head is a cookie cutter that I am both trying to fit into and trying to creep out of. Much of my poetry is situated in the realm of that conflicted resistance. If I could grow some new appendages like a misshapen tail or tentacles, then I wouldn’t fit the mold. I think of my poems as appendages on a larger body that is trying to evolve into a new breed of misfit."

(Like I mentioned on FB, I'm not sure why I chose to submit a photo in which I look like some kind of bony owl/witch hybrid engaging in a random staredown, but you'll have that sometimes, I guess.)

(I'm actually not sure when this Spring 2009 issue went live; it might or might not have been a while ago; but I never recall receiving an email heads up about it, so I just noticed today.)

Also, at the mixed media-licious 'What to Wear During an Orange Alert' website, you can partake of an interview with me regarding Blood Pudding Press, social marketing, Horrific Confection, & more. Glug, glug, glug.

P.S. I mentioned in the above-noted interview, when answering a q. about my first full-length poetry book, 'Horrific Confection', which was published by BlazeVOX as both an e-book and in print, that I felt a bit deflated 'cuz I had only sold three print copies. Well since then, BlazeVOX editor Geoffrey Gatza sent me an email to let me know that the e-book incarnation has received about 4500 unique downloads, so that made me feel better.

coming soon
