Happy One Year Anniversary to these flames that are still burning...

A New Review of my poetry chapbook, "red flames burning out"! - "Juliet brings the raw side-show to town..."

"As a lover of darker poetry. Juliet soothes my soul, always reminding me that I'm not alone in this {bored} game of Life. I tip my Bridal Meat hat to the queen of confessional macabre. Juliet brings the raw side-show to town with every collection and lies bare on the tracks for our entertainment. (Doll) heads-up though, there are plenty cringy moments here for sure. But, only cringy as you realize the level of sheer vulnerability you're dealing with, and then you wonder if you're worthy to be reading all of this personal splatter of pure in-the-moment emotional truth bombs. Lots of deep breaths. It's intense.

My favorites are 'Dried Flowers and Spit Out Seeds', 'My Bridal Meat Doll', 'Chicken Corset' and 'Mangled is Still Alive'. Also, the cover artwork is so stunning. Another quality book from one of the most authentic poets out there."

of the ice clinging to half-dead branches, but
then I might have a seizure on the frozen ice,
bang my head into frostbitten blood."

My NEW poetry chapbook, "red flames burning out" is now one week old and still needs new homes!

Happy Poetry Month 2023!

This is another cover photo of my NEW poetry chapbook, "red flames burning out", published by Grey Book Press in April 2023.

I am also sharing a photo scan of the poem in the middle of the chapbook, one of 20 poems within the collection.

The collection incudes...

“Broken doll fingers bulging their way out of blubbering chicken wire. Losing parts of one’s self and growing new parts in the form of self-created nightmares, body and brain malfunctions, seizures and other divorces from parts of past reality. Pitching standard traditions in the trash, wrapped in drying blood. Creepy bird’s nests and fear of impending death, yet still continuing to create one’s own sizzling and burning red fire.”

This new chapbook is now one week old and still needs new homes.

red flames burning out (Grey Book Press, April 2023)

The Rabbits With Red Eyes (Ethel Zine & Micro Press, March 2020)

My NEW poetry chapbook, "red flames burning out" is now newly available from Grey Book Press!

"Some people might not like being called
unmistakably unstable, but I don't mind.
Because that's the way I roll

cracked eyeballs out of broken doll head holes and hell,

the broken pieces still have brains to fill
with fury and onward activity no matter how
many times they're knocked down.

Because that's the way I roll,
unable to be trapped into further oblivion.
I use gum wrappers to cover ripped out teeth
and a threesome of crooked fingers."

in the poem "My Dolls Aren't For Hunting"

My NEW poetry chapbook, "red flames burning out", as of April 2023, is now HERE, thank you to Grey Book Press! It is $8.00.
