Juliet Cook holding a copy of "Writing the Self-Elegy - The Past Is Not Disappearing Ink", edited by Kara Dorris (published by Southern Illinois University Press).

This is a poetry anthology, featuring more than 25 different poets, offering poems, short essays, and writing prompts.

Cook is delighted to be included, with three poems ("Deadly Doll Head Dissection" - "Self Portrait as a Slab on a Slab" - "Un-sided Self Portrait"), an essay ("Broken Doll Hands that had to Grow New Fingers") and a writing prompt ("Try It Yourself(ie): Word Control").

Cook is delighted to be in the company of many other wonderful and amazing and unique poets (and their poems, essays, writing prompts).

Here is a snippet from a back cover blurb by Petra Kuppers - "They also invite you into their fold: each poet offers prompts to the reader, as well as essayistic thoughts, de-mystifying and re-mystifying these acts of (inter)corporeal magic."
