Read the first poem in Juliet Cook's NEW Poetry Chapbook, REVOLTING (and more)!

"Sometimes we learn the hard way
that some mice will eat their own babies

like sadistic cannibals, leaving nothing but half a body
attached to a head that will always live inside mine."

in the first poem ("From Hormone Imbalance to Death") within Juliet Cook's NEW chapbook, "REVOLTING" (very recently published by Cul-de-sac of Blood).

I'm sharing a few more photos of this chapbook, as well as this whole poem here.

NEW! Juliet Cook's poem "From Hormone Imbalance to Death" is appearing in Scapegoat Review Spring 2023!

"We found its dead body inside a kitchen cabinet,
skinny, curled to one side, and all alone.
Sometimes we learn the hard way

that other people think we're overreacting
by getting really upset when a little pet dies,
as if it should be easy to replace

one little pet with another little pet
or one little spouse with another little spouse.
As if death is not the end of everything."
