Autumn Sky Poetry DAILY's Saturday book feature is the 2020 Blood Pudding Press poetry chapbook, "EVIL ME" by MISH!
I said hello
to the death songs inside me.
I caressed the safety razor
I used to shave my legs.
I couldn’t force myself
to carve the flesh of my wrists.
I asked my mother
to move so I could reach
the cabinet under the kitchen sink:
I’ll drink Drano.
I’ll kill myself.
No, you won’t, said Mother
and told me to set the table.

NEW! Juliet Cook has FOUR NEW POEMS appearing within Cul-de-sac of Blood!
Juliet Cook is extremely delighted to have FOUR NEW POEMS appearing within Cul-de-sac of Blood!
Here's the editors description of the poems - The orbitoclast, a tiny hammerhead shark tap tapping us into place. “I was walking through a parking lot” leads us inevitably, somehow, to “I wasn’t sure if I was human anymore.” A standard red horror. In these poems by frequent contributor Juliet Cook, medically-induced terror finds us where we live
Here's a few lines from the poem "I Don't Like Primary Colors" -
try to splash out
of the water,
then slash themselves
into skulls,
marooned.
Sink back down."
And here's where you can read all four poems! - https://www.culdesacofblood.com/juliet-cook-2
Also, underneath the four poems, you can click on a link to learn a little bit more about the poems, such as what inspired them...

Another NEW (Mini) Review of Juliet Cook's 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."

A NEW Book Essay Review of Juliet Cook's latest poetry chapbook, "Your Mouth Is Moving Backwards" - Violence of Craft: Your Mouth is Moving Backwards by Juliet Cook Reviewed by Mike Bagwell at Philly Poetry Chapbook Review
Here's one small piece of the review. You can read more via the link below that.
And then below that are links to where you can acquire the chapbook.
"The cover’s disembodied mouth and layers of facial abstraction stared up at me from a blood-red page as if ready to cry out. And as I read, food and candle wax inhabited the pages as readily as the poet’s words. The book became my own, just as its violence became my own. Every aspect of this book reflects its subject. Your Mouth is Moving Backwards is a thorough and fun examination of the grotesque made exquisite by its handbound form."

"My guts are bleeding and I'm lonely - Winter is a dragon not long slain - The clay is cracking, flaking, peeling - melody died in my throat - love is an abandoned ship - God's love is abuse - carries dissonance in fifths - cutting it up in slivers makes everyone spill their hearts out - the bleached phalanges of a trembling, titanic hand - only those ghastly phalanges know - enigmas dance behind forever closed eyelids - move through deep space in a planetary system - My hands are bound by a sky that has been dark for days - Soon, the metal, plastic And foam might appear - The radiator cries, but all else is still - the hourglass stops crying - The sky has been dark for days - as I pray for light to break the grey..."
