NEW! Juliet Cook is excited and delighted that FIVE NEW POEMS of hers are now available in Gargoyle Online #12!

"So many people don’t seem to care
what’s really real or not.
So many people don’t seem to care
how others really feel or why.
My mind is my own warped confessional
booth filled with past secrets and self-doubt

and lack of disclosing
everything. Pretending I don’t care
what others think about me.
I don’t pray. I don’t always believe
in myself or much of anything else

or anyone else’s sincerity."

in Juliet Cook's poem "I Try To Be Real But Why?' one of five of her poems newly appearing in the new Gargoyle Online #12
