NEW! Juliet Cook is very excited to share that her poem "Too Much or Not Enough" is appearing In Conversation at The Literary Underground!

"...When we were like dolls,
they could cut off our fingers and toes
more easily. Maybe even cut out
our tongues. Snap a neck, invade
our brains. Diminish our bodies

with ongoing hateful clichés, ridicule,
ridiculous standards."

the beginning of Cook's poem, "Too Much or Not Enough", which is newly appearing In Conversation at The Literary Underground!

Currently this is the first poem in a sequence of interconnected poems that Cook been working on for quite a while now, so I guess we shall see what happens with that. Maybe when it's finally semi-done, she may try to turn it into a chapbook length manuscript of sorts.

NEW! Juliet Cook is excited and delighted that a new poem of hers, "Disengaged" is newly appearing In Conversation at The Literary Underground!

"I pull off its head, toss most of its body
inside a garbage bin. I remove
the two arms, keep them disconnected

in my bedroom, against the wall,
beside my bookcase, facing the opposite angle
away from the previous mannequin parts."

"My Own"!

Sometimes the larger scheme of things can feel a little bit pointless, but at least in the larger scheme of whatever the hell, I'm my own pair of socks...

NEW! Two new poems by Juliet Cook are making an appearance in The Literary Underground!
