New! Four collaborative poems by Darryl Shupe and Juliet Cook in Issue No. 33, Fall 2021 of MISFIT!

Four of Juliet Cook and Darryl Shupe's strange and creepy collaborative model fair poems are now making an appearance in the new Fall 2021 Issue of Misfit Magazine!

Model Arts and Crafts - Model Hog Heaven - Art Barn Torture - Like A Tortured Clown Funny.

Hyperventilating models in the middle
of a barrage of red strobe lights
like a haunted house dance club
in a horror movie.  Long clown shoes
nailed to the floor.  Drowning in manure.

(from Like a Tortured Clown Funny)

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

New! Juliet Cook's poem "My Teeth Have Been Loose For Years" appears in Rogue Agent, Issue 77!

"Every single night that raggedy doll tried to teach
another horrific lesson
about restraint and lying
as still as I possibly could.

I wanted to turn that doll's head around
and snap it before it crawled from my midriff
up to my pillowcase, attempting to
smother me into demolition."

New! Juliet Cook's poem "Some of the Dolls Hide in the Basement" in The Rising Phoenix Review!

"Some of them were thrown down the stairs by others.
Some of them threw themselves down.
Some of them were shaken and dragged

by the mouths of dogs, smell like filthy
dried out saliva mixed with blood stains.
The dolls with eyes that will never be put back together."

part of Juliet Cook's poem, "Some of the Dolls Hide in the Basement', in The Rising Phoenix Review

"inject that butt with another order of pills - I can’t even tell which lies are true - I must throw a blanket on you, you're so cold in bed - ventilated lungs gasp for air - I take walks in the cemetery where it is quiet - until humans become mass murderers or don’t make it home for a month - I still think they have mad cow disease - You must force yourself into a mailbox and write - my deliciously despicable lair - detached from the moral and cultural climate - Gritty, disturbing, covered in mold - between tattered drapes - She receives and emits her desires to the world around her - on the anniversary of her slaughter - An ink blot, a small country with rivers for borders on my mattress - lead down to a deeper darkness - make footsteps like ghost children - searching for roadkill"

"We want to leap over sadness like acrobats, but our hearts won’t let us - I was born from ice and slept in a cradle of clouds - deep in hidden drawers - the constant bombardment of memory - an awful science project gone awry - there is no tender-hearted romance - we spray the rainbow down with diesel - as eaters become the eaten - a color of stories, a vacuum filling - the snow inebriated the land - unblinking at her executioner - mouths forming holes - a vertebrae crushed, marked by the teeth of a beast - appreciate what the murderers have said - You can be trapped in an opulent house - rotting in the walls - I begged to be put out of my misery..."

"Alternate universes / brush against each other / kissing each other / for a nanosecond / causing echoes / throughout the multiverse" by MISH
