for my dead fish."

NEW! Two poems with centipedes inside them making an appearance in the new issue of Sein und Werden!

"When I woke up after the hundred year fate
of every space being filled with flying centipedes,
I found out that now our flying centipedes were the one
and only food source. Sometimes sustenance stings
if you don't bow down to the centipede leaders"

in Juliet Cook and j/j hastain's poem "Centipede Cider"

Very excited to have one individual poem by Juliet Cook and one collaborative poem by j/j hastain and Juliet Cook appearing in the new Autumn/Winter 2023 Issue of Sein und Werden!

And both poems have centipedes inside them.

FLESH WORLD

The only place to hide is a trap
door loaded with rotting baby toes
and constrained screams
shoved inside a dollhouse
sized train that can't move.

Coming soon! Juliet Cook’s YOUR MOUTH IS MOVING BACKWARDS

Juliet Cook's poetry has appeared in a small multitude of print and online publications. She is the author of numerous poetry chapbooks, recently including "Another Set of Ripped-Out Bloody Pigtails" (The Poet's Haven, 2019), "The Rabbits with Red Eyes" (Ethel Zine & Micro-Press, 2020), "Histrionics Inside my Interior City" (part of Ghost City Press's Summer Micro-Chapbook Series, 2020), "red flames burning out" (Grey Book Press, April 2023), and "Contorted Doom Conveyor" (Gutter Snob Books, July 2023).

Cook's first full-length poetry book, “Horrific Confection", was published by BlazeVOX. Her most recent full-length poetry book, "Malformed Confetti" was published by Crisis Chronicles Press in 2018. She is currently in the long process of compiling and organizing her third full-length poetry manuscript.

Cook's own tiny independent press, Blood Pudding Press, sometimes publishes hand-designed poetry chapbooks and sometimes creates other art.

Cook also writes collaborative poetry and also creates abstract painting collage art hybrid creatures.

Juliet Cook has two creepy new poems bleeding their way through CUL-DE-SAC OF BLOOD!

Juliet Cook has two creepy new poems making an appearance inside the CUL-DE-SAC OF BLOOD. 

The poems are entitled, "Thorns Stuck Inside My Left Foot" and "Knocked Out".

Underneath "Knocked Out", you may also click on "Learn More About These Poems", if so inclined...

"My life is not an embryonic petting zoo.
I don't want my foot transfixed inside a caged door.
My internal wine glasses start flying inside churches, hissing
at everyone who thinks they deserve to tell me what to do."

in the poem "Thorns Stuck Inside My Left Foot"

A New Review of Juliet Cook's poetry chapbook, "red flames burning out"! - "...lies bare on the tracks for our entertainment..."

 "As a lover of darker poetry. Juliet soothes my soul, always reminding me that I'm not alone in this {bored} game of Life. I tip my Bridal Meat hat to the queen of confessional macabre. Juliet brings the raw side-show to town with every collection and lies bare on the tracks for our entertainment. (Doll) heads-up though, there are plenty cringy moments here for sure. But, only cringy as you realize the level of sheer vulnerability you're dealing with, and then you wonder if you're worthy to be reading all of this personal splatter of pure in-the-moment emotional truth bombs. Lots of deep breaths. It's intense.

My favorites are 'Dried Flowers and Spit Out Seeds', 'My Bridal Meat Doll', 'Chicken Corset' and 'Mangled is Still Alive'. Also, the cover artwork is so stunning. Another quality book from one of the most authentic poets out there."

A new 4 1/2 star review by Casey Kiser of my "red flames burning out" poetry chapbook (published by Grey Book Press, April 2023)

Juliet Cook and her doom bunny holding her CONTORTED DOOM CONVEYOR!

"When you die old, they will put up a photo

of you when you were young,

as though your recent years were nothing.

Not nearly as exciting as your youth,

at least not physically.

When you were a teenage nightmare,

you started to dream of dying

before you reached that violent gurgling

middle stream of ongoing irrelevance.

Before you sank down to the bottom

and drowned while you were still alive."

in the poem "FIFTY ICE CRYSTALS MELTING AWAY" in Juliet Cook's new poetry chapbook, CONTORTED DOOM CONVEYOR, published by Gutter Snob Books in July 2023.

More of Juliet Cook's CONTORTED DOOM CONVEYOR!

"It's your fault for pulling an ex-friends hair out
of the bathtub drain and placing the hair on a condescending letter
as if you were better than them because you didn't shove your own hair
down that drain. Instead you obsessively hacked your own hair off
and stuck it inside a tiny garbage can with the bathroom door locked.

You repeatedly locked doors and sat on counters near the sink
against the mirror, divided your face into numbered sections
and secretly conducted your own compulsive rituals against yourself.
You somehow let yourself believe your own anxiety
and obsessive streaks made more sense than someone else's depression."

in the poem "THROWING IT AWAY DOESN'T MEAN IT DIDN'T HAPPEN" in Juliet Cook's new poetry chapbook, CONTORTED DOOM CONVEYOR, published by Gutter Snob Books in July 2023.
