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.

Just step onto the doom conveyor belt and you enter a world of dolls, pieces of them, whole ones, effigies, doll graveyards, of a sort, and well just about anything you can think of short of Anne’s porcelain doll collection (Anne as in Anne Rice who famously collected some pretty scary ones). Basically, Juliet’s world is one of hallucinatory conjunctions, Bob Dylan surreality from his early Rimbaud infused years, sick bags, like Nick Cave, free floating dread like being in a David Cronenberg movie, watching a “Naked Lunch” while lying on Freud’s couch ( Sigmund or Lucien’s, take your pick), under the influence of a peyote dream, high flying whiles suffering new pill side effects. Juliet’s voice is decidedly and uniquely her own.

But there are other titles too and other inspirations and insinuations too, including Cook's own real life experiences, thoughts, and feelings doused into dark red poetry.<br /><br />Dive into Cook's latest strangely crafted poetic mess HERE:<br /><br /><a class="x1fey0fg xmper1u x1edh9d7" href="https://www.ethelzine.com/shop/your-mouth-is-moving-backwards-by-juliet-cook"><span style="white-space-collapse: preserve;">https://www.ethelzine.com/shop/your-mouth-is-moving-backwards-by-juliet-cook</span></a><br /><br /><a class="x1fey0fg xmper1u x1edh9d7" href="https://www.ethelzine.com/your-mouth-is-moving-backwards"><span style="white-space-collapse: preserve;">https://www.ethelzine.com/your-mouth-is-moving-backwards</span></a><br /><br /></span><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj0mcNsmnYUPW78ipYDMqix4SqHJ-CpjwOhXp2PPM0Mx4EVPxXEZ5JcgqtB6hi9X19ZhyzMIOkXRz-Q1lqMw8ltcZMHTDAwr-k15mtiiQFR5dveSBolBeYaQEbBy80fOprOKefEZROPbVtlFL9rSITz9BTMiKOyYviSAwai2jT8ZFtcWW4BGiJReLXplq0/s1632/image1.jpeg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1632" data-original-width="1224" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj0mcNsmnYUPW78ipYDMqix4SqHJ-CpjwOhXp2PPM0Mx4EVPxXEZ5JcgqtB6hi9X19ZhyzMIOkXRz-Q1lqMw8ltcZMHTDAwr-k15mtiiQFR5dveSBolBeYaQEbBy80fOprOKefEZROPbVtlFL9rSITz9BTMiKOyYviSAwai2jT8ZFtcWW4BGiJReLXplq0/w300-h400/image1.jpeg" width="300" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Your Mouth Is Moving Backwards cover art</td></tr></tbody></table><br /><table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="float: left;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjVEvIxMYEgE5nXYf5BmYJuJ7CxZQVx325xFoIcJtwm7gR5F0ukhkOPxMtrLoIE-ORLBXJul12SRnjK4GM-AQV4Gm-FM8vuKD_rk93Xqe3QKv6mGW1HaYzsuYlHxzPNzzU1p_PxOmkFl678NyOQsp9q5t7k2Y21T3gTh1MmNGqNnrFICbv95CDW8VQ7vSI/s2048/Twin%20Peaks%20first%20and%20second.jpg" style="clear: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="2048" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjVEvIxMYEgE5nXYf5BmYJuJ7CxZQVx325xFoIcJtwm7gR5F0ukhkOPxMtrLoIE-ORLBXJul12SRnjK4GM-AQV4Gm-FM8vuKD_rk93Xqe3QKv6mGW1HaYzsuYlHxzPNzzU1p_PxOmkFl678NyOQsp9q5t7k2Y21T3gTh1MmNGqNnrFICbv95CDW8VQ7vSI/w400-h400/Twin%20Peaks%20first%20and%20second.jpg" width="400" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Ronette Pulaski/Phoebe Augustine</td></tr></tbody></table></span></div></div>Juliet Blood Puddinghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14594078209182239805noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-717985737942290607.post-8574692195294759722023-11-30T17:20:00.000-05:002023-11-30T17:20:28.331-05:00Happy last day of November!

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.</span></p><br style="font-size: large;" /><span style="font-size: large;">My favorites are 'Dried Flowers and Spit Out Seeds', 'My Bridal Meat Doll', 'Chicken Corset' and 'Mangled is Still Alive'.
