A wonderful NEW review of Juliet Cook's Malformed Confetti

"A narrative voice of shape-shifting persona often addressing a "you" of unknown provenance. An "I" multiform, trying and discarding multiple guises...Language that reveals--and revels in--anatomical metaphor. Beneath the mascara, beneath even the epidermis, to stage III and IV pressure sores, clots, "crepuscular creep" and "throbbing pupa"..."

a part of this awesomely wonderful review by Wayne F Burke of Juliet Cook's poetry book, "Malformed Confetti" (Crisis Chronicles Press, 2018)

The last Thirteen Myna Birds flock of 2018 has arrived!

The last Thirteen Myna Birds flock of 2018 has arrived, offering poems by Jill Khoury, Robert Golden, J.C. Mari, Martin Willitts Jr., and John Sweet!

All HERE - http://13myna.blogspot.com

"horizon filled with ground-up bones - from one failed relationship to the next - with rotting carcasses of jacked deer and discarded dead pets - flickering tongues like pine needles burning - is it funny is it a sad wreck? - do you remember why you never escaped from here? - you creep beyond the borders of your season - all the basements filled with water or with bones - He willed the ocean to approach and willed it back - lying on my back mouth open to the sky - for a red red snowflake to seize the day..."

NEW in Winedrunk Sidewalk:Shipwrecked in Trumpland - "Pepper" by Juliet Cook

"All he wants to do is destroy
in order to feel like his body is stronger.
He can't control his own body, so he'll control others.
He wants to be the boss of broken body parts."

in Juliet Cook's poem, "Pepper", appearing in Winedrunk Sidewalk: Shipwrecked in Trumpland today

While the room is melting And The Shadows come to call - Our interstellar dance steps invent history - Military Inserts insects Into my brain - Crows fly from me - so close to the whisper of an artery - Join us for air so thin you won’t breath - deterioration devours us - Thousands of spiders, centipedes, flies Erupted from my eyelids - they sacrificed themselves for the profit of a few - Crematorium Bursting with the gritty sooty dead - how could I have seen a spider from across the room, in the dark? - Did it go under the bed?

A Few Lines from Juliet Cook's MALFORMED CONFETTI

"Once upon a time I wished to be wan
with black tips. Sooty tern in place of heart,
pecking, pecking. The shell cracks; it seeps
bone meal. Furry poltergeists sip from

my marrow like maggots
working a wound, little sinners
to digest the dead flesh until
the fur bristles.

It looked like a suckling pig between the legs
again, but one of my holes was birthing
a whole peccary."

NEW in FLAPPERHOUSE - "The Moon Made Out of Bloated Cheese" by Juliet Cook and j/j hastain

what constitutes a healthy or unhealthy
size or shape of our own voice box?

NEW in Bone & Ink Press - Invasive Dead Leaf by Juliet Cook

"Maybe I'd rather be eaten
on the inside, instead of chewing off
someone else's head in less than ten minutes.

Dead leaf, devil's flower, I don't believe
in these judgmental gods that escalate
the hate in a different direction."

within Juliet Cook's poem "Invasive Dead Leaf", NEW in Bone & Ink Press

Juliet Cook's poetry has appeared in a small multitude of magazines, including Arsenic Lobster, DIAGRAM, Diode, FLAPPERHOUSE, Menacing Hedge and The Rising Phoenix Review. She is the author of numerous poetry chapbooks, recently including a collaboration with j/j hastain called "Dive Back Down" (Dancing Girl Press, 2015), an individual collection called "From One Ruined Human to Another" (Cringe-Worthy Poets Collective, 2018), and with another individual collection, "Another Set of Ripped Out Bloody Pig Tails" forthcoming from The Poet's Haven.

Cook's first full-length individual poetry book, “Horrific Confection”, was published by BlazeVOX close to ten years ago. Her more recent full-length poetry book, "A Red Witch, Every Which Way", is a collaboration with j/j hastain published by Hysterical Books in 2016. Her MOST recent full-length individual poetry book, "Malformed Confetti" soon to be published by Crisis Chronicles Press, is the book on which this reading is based.
