NEW! A Review of Juliet Cook's latest poetry chapbook, "Blue Stingers Instead of Wings", thanks to Rachel Kendall of Sein und Werden!

"The poems in Blue Stingers Instead of Wings are not the confessional poetry of Sexton or Plath. Cook’s confessions are horrific contortions, the blood and shit and metamorphosis of otherness, of disturbed mind over decaying matter. Here, imagined fears, like decapitation by ceiling fan, and disrupted brain flow imagery are scattered throughout, alongside the very real issues of misogyny and beauty, and the invisibility that comes with feminine maturation."

A sample within a new and much appreciated Review of Juliet Cook's latest poetry chapbook, "Blue Stingers Instead of Wings" (Pure Sleeze Press)!

Thank you very much to Rachel Kendall, writer and editor of Sein und Werden, for writing this review!
