Juliet Cook holding her new poetry chapbook, "red flames burning out"!

Juliet Cook holding her new poetry chapbook, "red flames burning out", published by Grey Book Press this month, April 2023.


***


"I might spend that unknown time frame of post-seizure
memory loss walking alone along an unknown road
and then get dragged into an unknown alley,
and then wake up in pain and have no clue
where I am, what happened to me or
where all this blood is coming from."

in one of her Internal Suffocation poems within the chapbook

Juliet Cook's 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 Juliet Cook's NEW poetry chapbook, "red flames burning out", published by Grey Book Press in April 2023.


And also 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. ðŸ–¤❤️‍🔥💜

Juliet Cook's NEW poetry chapbook, "red flames burning out" is now newly available from Grey Book Press!

"No I wasn't trying 
to kill an invisible mouse
by accidentally shooting
my seizure pill under the oven
and not being able to find it.

I'm not small enough to crawl
all the way under;
to pull you out if you are
even smaller and more invisible
than me..."

the beginning of Juliet Cook's poem "Mangled Is Still Alive".

Inside Cook's NEW poetry chapbook, "red flames burning out", now officially available, thank you to Grey Book Press!

NEW! "Writing the Self-Elegy, The Past Is Not Disappearing Ink" will be coming to life in APRIL!

This poetry anthologies release date is the end of April (poetry month) - it is currently available for preorder - AND when preordering, you can use the discount code SIUP20 and get 20% off!


I'm in the process of and really enjoying reading this book. The book doesn't technically exist in print until late April, but since I have a couple poems in it, I received an online proof a while back, to double check my poems and I've been reading the other poems in there too and really loving a lot of them.


It's called "Writing the Self-Elegy, The Past Is Not Disappearing Ink", edited by Kara Dorris, includes work by 28 poets, and the poets offer poetry, an "essay" (interpreted various different ways), and a writing prompt.


I'm very excited to be included in this book, even more excited about reading all the other contributions, and will be even more excited when the book comes to life in print in April.


You can find out more about it here and even buy one if you want.
