NEW! Three of Juliet Cook's Internal Suffocation Poems in Misfit Magazine!

"I don't think ghosts are invisible and
even though they sometimes temporarily disappear,
I don't think they ever go away.
I think we create our own ghosts
so that something lasts forever."

Juliet Cook is delighted to have three of her Internal Suffocation poems making an appearance in the NEW Fall 2022 Issue of Misfit!

NEW! Three collaborative poems by Juliet Cook and j/j hastain are dripping in the CUL-DE-SAC OF BLOOD!

Delighted to share that j/j hastain and Juliet Cook have three collaborative poems appearing in CUL-DE-SAC OF BLOOD!

"That was an autocorrect
of her cackling 
pelt which spits out a gaggle
of dead human rats
and evil pet rabbits
and re-charges them too. 
Her other pets are expandable
stink bugs who own a perfume counter
in the woods."

NEW! Juliet Cook's poem "With a Cherry on Top of His Tusk" is making an appearance in Buffalo (x 8)

"My mental kaleidoscope collides with another Martini.

I like it sweet and I like it strong. My drinking buddy

is a hot pink narwhal named Mister Melodramatosis.

One of his eyes is sea green, his other eye turned into a grasshopper,

jumped out of his head, tossed itself into my Grasshopper Martini,

sizzled and spiked the drink..."

"Colorful children’s barrettes hurl themselves out of my mouth like tiny grenades to remind me I used to be small and powerful. Now I’m filled with weak bones, hooks, decaying fish mouth swimming in my gut" in the poem "Fish Sticks With Hot Flashes"

NEW! Short Poems of Violence and Chickens, a collaborative poetry chapbook by Juliet Cook and Darryl Shupe, is newly available from Blood Pudding Press!

NEW! Short Poems of Violence and Chickens by Juliet Cook and Darryl Shupe has now been newly added to the Blood Pudding Press shop!

The first new Blood Pudding Press poetry chapbook of 2022!

***

Juliet Cook and Darryl Shupe's poetic collaboration was unexpectedly inspired by Juliet having a hissy fit about Darryl's use of the word nasty to describe being drooled on by a sheep at a county fair, because she felt like nasty was an overused word. Instead of staying annoyed, she used his sentence to start a poem, which ended up resulting in 18 collaborative poems that fused nasty animal/human hybridization with other disturbing elements of existence. 15 of those poems are included within this collection.

Juliet is a stuck pig/circus peanut hybrid.

Darryl is a swearing carousel horse.

Both of them like goats, but Darryl does not like clucking chickens.

***

Buyers may choose between the HOT chicken cover OR the DUNK YOUR DIPPER! cover OR let the shop choose for you.

"Other times I can't control

what my own mind sees

or what happens to me.

Sometimes my mind exaggerates things.

Other times it blocks things out.

Sometimes my brain cells discharge 

uncontrolled electrical activity.

Sometimes it's not up to me.

When it is, I'll watch whatever I want to,

whether it's based on real life or exaggerated make believe."
