New! Juliet Cook's poem "Passenger Seat" in Issue 1 of DEAD SKUNK!

This violent encompassment tears off hinges, cracks open

the driver's side window, hurls the passenger

into a panic attack, heart palpitations,

internal screams, space crowded with people who don't care

I am delighted to have my poem "Passenger Seat" appearing within Issue 1 of DEAD SKUNK!

Part of the poem appears above.

Happy Spooky October from Thirteen Myna Birds! A New flock is here to haunt you!

Happy October from Thirteen Myna Birds! A new flock is here to haunt the walls of your brains, offering poetry and art by Jason O'Toole, Daniel Snethen, MISH Murphy, John Maurer, David P. Miller, John Grey, and Malachi Ray Adkins!

"As soon as I sleep, I forget to be positive - vociferous soul-catcher screeching - From hating the lack of love - To loving every bit of hate - still in my hometown driving past cemeteries - strip carcasses bare recycling death unto life - are you sure your mouse finger twitched on the link we told you to twitch? - Might be you don’t have prior experience being human - happiness is a hollow goal - The orange ball wasn’t. Then all at once was and there it is - I’m not allowed to betray what that means - Pumpkin squats on porch and continues to die - Do books go to heaven? Or even hell? - If a book can ascend can it also be murdered? - Who would have thought that little black book would turn out to be great black night..."

NEW! Juliet Cook's poem "Throwing It Away Doesn't Mean It Didn't Happen" is newly up today at Writing In a Woman's Voice!

Today another poem by Juliet Cook, "Throwing It Away Doesn't Mean It Didn't Happen" is up online at Writing In A Woman's Voice

"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."

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

of life. Because the bodies you rolled
your eyes at 20 years ago are now you"

in Juliet Cook's poem, "Does Lard Go Bad?', newly up at Writing in a Woman's Voice

***

"Ponytails might induce seizures, but you don't care,

because you've been growing out your hair
for your own reasons, for a decade or more.

Sure, sometimes you'll get pissed off and rip
some of your own hair out and fling it
in some woman's face or on her floor

or in her garbage can..."

in the poem "Here's My Passive Aggressive Ponytail"

"the pinkish juices

resemble sweetness, but salt
grits the socket into lies"

in the poem "A Cherry in the Eye"
