A wonderful NEW review of Juliet Cook's poetry chapbook, "SOFT FOAM"!

Another wonderful review by Casey Kiser, of another Blood Pudding Press poetry chapbook by Juliet Cook, "Soft Foam"!

"Currently, my absolute favorite Juliet Cook collection. Though, I have a lot to go. 
I got half-way through and had to call my drug dealer. 
I put her poetry in the genre of gateway drug ;)
This is some fine-tuned chaotic brilliance. An insomniac's delight. 
She is quite a master of words. Every poem in this one left me drooling. 
Absolute favorites: ALL OF THEM, 'Squiggles in Wonderland'.
Maybe, once I collect all Juliet's books, I will just giveaway my tv.

'This drunk compliments my legs.
I compliment my own legs in my head
in an other's voice. All it takes
to induce another fantasy.'

-From 'Sink or Float (drunk fantasy)"

A NEW mini-review of Juliet Cook's poetry chapbook, "From One Ruined Human to Another"!

A new mini-review of Juliet Cook's poetry chapbook, "From One Ruined Human to Another"! Thank you to Casey Renee Kiser!

"Juliet is one of the coolest poets I have ever read and this one is another gem. The poems I related to the most were the title poem, ‘Bloodlines’, ‘House of Her Cards’, ‘Bookmarks Stuck Inside Cracked Columns’ and ‘Blood on the Unpillowed Cases’. Juliet is so creative and twisted, you can’t help but want to get lost in her words. Her world. This book is excellent quality."

Another NEW Review of an old book, "Horrific Confection" (AND a link to a new book,"Malformed Confetti")

"This is a dark collection of poetry focusing on childhood fears, eating disorders, body dysmorphia and…..cake. Well that is the feeling I get from reading this, it leaves a lot to the reader’s imagination, how you read certain lines in each poem can change the whole poem completely, it’s all very clever.

The book seems to span a great distance, with early poems showing childhood fears and being in awe of her mum, and then in later poems the poet has grown up and is writing about sex and her own baby (which I think may or may not have flippers)."

Juliet Cook's poetry books available to read online

Today I had an online friend who had recently read my first full-length poetry book, “Horrific Confection” online, ask me if I had any other books available to read as e-books online. A lot of my poetry books/chapbooks (especially the most recent ones) are in print, but there are several others that are available in e-formats too. 

I thought I’d share links for those who can’t reasonably afford print books/chapbooks AND/OR for those who just prefer reading online.

So...the first link is to my first full-length poetry book and then the others are all short poetry chapbooks.

"From One Ruined Human to Another" by Juliet Cook (new from CWP Collective Press, as of June 2018)!

Blood Pudding Press editor and poet Juliet Cook is extremely excited and delighted to announce...

I have a NEW poetry chapbook, "From One Ruined Human to Another", newly published and newly available from Cringe-Worthy Poets Collective!

This is my first new poetry chapbook to be published within the last three years, so those of you who hear me read poetry have probably encountered some of these poems in recent years.

For those of you who don't know my poetry, it isn't very pretty. Little girls coalesce into blobs of blood with ripped out hearts. Contaminated tissue, bible cysts, evil spells, slimy pus, disbelief in love, dead birds, dead hearts and other broken parts, doll torsos with broken heads, giant rat traps, stars filled with teeth broken from the molars, at least three different poems with pussy in them, lots and lots of blood and lots and lots of holes.

The chapbook contains 26 hideous pages worth of poems created by me AND two pieces of fantastically wonderful cover art created by poet/artist Craig Firsdon (one on the outside front cover and one on the inside front cover).

I'll share more photos and more information soon (because I received my own copies of this chapbook in the mail, this past weekend), but for now I am sharing a link to where you can acquire your very own copy of my new book, and I'm sharing some close up scans of Craig Firsdon's cover art!

If you're into my poetry (or are interested in checking it out), please support the press that chose to publish it!  For only 5 bucks plus shipping, you can get yourself a copy from CWP Collective and have a hand-designed book of 25 dark red poems and two fabulous pieces of unique art right in front of you. 

HERE! - https://www.cwpcollectivepress.com/bookstore-1/from-one-ruined-human-to-another


You can also buy other chapbooks from CWP too!

As a small sample, here's the beginning of my poem "After the Lite Brite Died"

"Sometimes I'm not in the mood for light hearted.

Sometimes I'm not in the mood for light.

Sometimes I'd rather sit by myself in the dark.

Sometimes I only want the Lite Brite colors to be dark

red like a rare moon, red like the blood

that will make you back away from this

girl turning into a woman who will not keep her own red flow a secret anymore."

A little less than a week to get your own copy of The Laura Poems!

“Death decides it is hungry”
for her stained slip, raw wrists,
mangled fish gills gasping, gaping,
glittered with red slime. (Every time
she grabbed handfuls of air
like invisible rungs. She tried
to hoist herself up, but
he grabbed handfuls of hair;
yanked her down again again again…)

from a poem within "The Laura Poems" by Juliet Cook, temporarily available again in the Blood Pudding Press shop.
