New! Juliet Cook's poem "Sometimes I Stay Quiet, So I Don't Launch An Attack" appears in Writing In A Woman's Voice today!

"I think I hear something hissing,
then buzzing inside one of my ears
then flying out of a shrunken corsage
that turned itself into a nest of angry paper wasps
who weren't invited to the popular dance."

in Juliet Cook's poem "Sometimes I Stay Quiet, So I Don't Launch an Attack", appearing today in Writing In A Woman's Voice (thank you very much to editor Beate Sigriddaughter)

NEW! Juliet Cook's poem "Does Lard Go Bad?" is newly up today at Writing in a Woman's Voice

"Because pregnant bellies are so sexy,
but a flabby middle-aged gut is the total opposite

your eyes at 20 years ago are now you"
