A New Review of Juliet Cook's poetry chapbook, "red flames burning out"! - "...lies bare on the tracks for our entertainment..."

 "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."
