NEW! Octopus Review #8 includes two of Juliet Cook's poems (which also appear in the Blood Pudding Press chapbook, DARK PURPLE INTERSECTIONS)!

Brimming with broom legs,

with bruises and veins,

uneven blood flow, pulsating heart beats

underneath my skin. I cut myself

shaving again, because the veins

bulged into the razor blade.

The ever alternating landscapes

of quantifiable feminism.

Blood

then mental evaporation

then excavation from underneath the cuts.

Juliet Cook is delighted to have a few poems appearing in Octopus Review #8! - https://theoctopusdiary.blogspot.com/2019/08/the-octopus-review-8.html?fbclid=IwAR08uim76Ha3FGzhy-uPFlb8PM95EAfo_QAxACHjcL88MVdfBDd4k_Ng53U

A NEW Review of Juliet Cook's DARK PURPLE INTERSECTIONS (inside my Black Doll Head Irises)

"Highly original in a good way, the poems in the chapbook Dark Purple Intersections (inside my Black Doll Head Irises) by Juliet Cook give us necessary glimpses into the way human life is lived in and through our bodies. I recommend you experience these poems, joining Juliet Cook in her honest and beautiful musings"

Some thoughts on Juliet Cook's Dark Purple Intersections (inside my Black Doll Head Irises)

"I also read Juliet Cooks new chapbook, Dark Purple Intersections (inside my Black Doll Head Irises), which uses beautiful dark imagery to provide a kind of coming of age narrative for adulthood. The narrator discovers more about herself through the progress of each poem and it’s lovely."

Andrea Blythe mentions her interpretation of Juliet Cook's recent poetry chapbook, "Dark Purple Intersections (inside my Black Doll Head Irises)" (published by Blood Pudding Press for Dusie Kollektiv 9) among her Culture Consumption: May 2019. You can read more of her Culture Consumption here - https://www.andreablythe.com/2019/06/07/culture-consumption-may-2019/

Blythe also recently interviewed Cook about Dark Purple Intersections and poetry and that interview will be up tomorrow.

DARK PURPLE INTERSECTIONS next to a light purple baby skull

"Will she ever understand
that my doll brain works differently
than her doll brain and I want to escape
being handled by somebody else?

I don't want to have a string attached to my back
connected to someone else's hand,
so that someone else can choose what I do or do not
say by pulling that string."

NEW! DARK PURPLE INTERSECTIONS (inside my Black Doll Head Irises) by Juliet Cook (Blood Pudding Press for Dusie Kollektiv 9)

"I wrote about my bruised, battered, scratched legs
and the bulging blue veins
that kept on bulging farther
out of alignment

then shifting
too close for comfort
to boring normalcy."

"I might be misaligned...inside my DARK PURPLE INTERSECTIONS"

"I might be misaligned, but
even though I might not know

exactly who I am, I didn't ask
for someone else's advice on how to

replace my webs with something less sticky."

A sample of part of a poem within Juliet Cook's new Blood Pudding Press for Dusie Kollektiv 9 chapbook, "DARK PURPLE INTERSECTIONS (inside my Black Doll Head Irises)".

DARK PURPLE INTERSECTIONS (inside my Black Doll Head Irises) by Juliet Cook is a NEW 2019 poetry chapbook, published by Blood Pudding Press for the Dusie Kollektiv 9.

DARK PURPLE INTERSECTIONS (inside my Black Doll Head Irises) is HERE! - https://www.etsy.com/listing/689260672/new-dark-purple-intersections-inside-my?ref=shop_home_feat_1

This new poetry chapbook contains 30+ pages of interconnected/intersected poems, with content based on wanting to escape control and the ongoing dying of love. It could possibly be perceived as a negative confessional with glimmers of cracked, broken doll parts designed into new doll parts so they can keep living their own way, even if their way changes.

The chapbook cover is hand-designed and hand-bound, with various different colors available, with or without insect or worm stickers. The colors and variations are too many to name, but if you have a particular preference for your chapbook's cover, please let me know in the Notes section. The color cover variations are mostly light tan variations, light purple variations, and light grey variations. They can have worm stickers added, insect stickers added, both, or no stickers at all. Any specific preferences or questions, let me know in the Notes.

Furthermore,if you'd like to acquire this chapbook from a source other than etsy (like via paypal for example), let me know that too.

Cook was involved with the Dusie Kollektiv 3,4, and 5 and is delighted to be involved again. The Dusie Kollektiv 9 is a Tribute to Marthe Reed.

Sometime in May 2019, the Dusie Kollektiv will be publishing free online PDF files of the various members chapbooks, but Cook also created this print version of her chapbook and will be mailing copies to other Dusie members in May.

For those who are not involved with Dusie and would like a hand-designed print copy of this chapbook, here it is - https://www.etsy.com/listing/689260672/new-dark-purple-intersections-inside-my?ref=shop_home_feat_1

As a small sample, here is the beginning of the first poem within the collection:

"Maybe you didn't want to bloom where you were planted.

Maybe you wanted to escape from where you were planted,

create your own individual space that doesn't leave you

stuck in the same position,

nailed into the same cross-shaped ground.

And so from the ground up and down, you elongate

into different circle shapes. You expand and grow

your own fairy tale pie filled with maggots

that will choke to death or drown in between

the red filling unless they learn to fly."
