NEW! Two of Juliet Cook's creepy poems are newly appearing in Cul-de-sac of Blood!

Juliet Cook has two new short poems appearing in Cul-de-sac of Blood!

Usually when I have new poems up, I share a few lines from one of the poems, but this time I'm sharing Cul-de-sac of Blood's description of my poems because I love their description!
Furthermore, after you read the two poems, if interested you can click on "Learn More About These Poems".
Here's what Cul-de-sac said about my poems:
"Rotting bear dolls & chicken brains erase our heads & replace them with images of themselves, & though we might not have a name for this process, Juliet Cook’s poems show us what it feels like to find ourselves somewhere between foreground & background."

This photo of Henry Spencer (played by Jack Nance) in Eraserhead (directed by David Lynch) initially inspired the first poem.

NEW! Juliet Cook has FOUR NEW POEMS appearing within Cul-de-sac of Blood!

Juliet Cook is extremely delighted to have FOUR NEW POEMS appearing within Cul-de-sac of Blood!


Here's the editors description of the poems - The orbitoclast, a tiny hammerhead shark tap tapping us into place. “I was walking through a parking lot” leads us inevitably, somehow, to “I wasn’t sure if I was human anymore.” A standard red horror. In these poems by frequent contributor Juliet Cook, medically-induced terror finds us where we live


Here's a few lines from the poem "I Don't Like Primary Colors" -


"Little ghost tongues
try to splash out
of the water, 
then slash themselves
into skulls,
marooned.
Sink back down."


And here's where you can read all four poems! - https://www.culdesacofblood.com/juliet-cook-2  

Also, underneath the four poems, you can click on a link to learn a little bit more about the poems, such as what inspired them...

Juliet Cook has two creepy new poems bleeding their way through CUL-DE-SAC OF BLOOD!

Juliet Cook has two creepy new poems making an appearance inside the CUL-DE-SAC OF BLOOD. 

The poems are entitled, "Thorns Stuck Inside My Left Foot" and "Knocked Out".

Underneath "Knocked Out", you may also click on "Learn More About These Poems", if so inclined...

"My life is not an embryonic petting zoo.
I don't want my foot transfixed inside a caged door.
My internal wine glasses start flying inside churches, hissing
at everyone who thinks they deserve to tell me what to do."


in the poem "Thorns Stuck Inside My Left Foot"
