coiled bags of evil
clown heads on hooks."

Happy or Unhappy November! Creeping into November with Dissolution and Decay, a new poem by Juliet Cook in Rogue Agent!

Creeping into November with Dissolution and Decay, a new poem by Juliet Cook is now appearing in Issue 116 of Rogue Agent! 

"I thought I had seen a hint
of blue. I momentarily thought
it was a new egg poking its way out
from a tiny gap in the old nest's fabric.
I temporarily imagined a mini forest
growing in all different directions
on all sides of the branches.

Then all the branches collapsed.
All the leaves fell down into ashes.
All the bright colors dissolved
or were covered up by dull brown
and gray. Dying hair and veins."

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.

***

The last time she took You out,
the garbage man picked You up.
They tried recycling You
but your zinc hide would not cooperate.
You lacked both ductility and malleability.

Somehow, You taught yourself
how to glare at potting soil until it turned
into rotting oil, then fish gills, then a living fish
that needed a home in your bathtub. You locked
your mom out, replaced her with your new catfish.
in the poem "Retrogradation of You" by Juliet Cook and Daniel G. Snethen

NEW! Juliet Cook is excited and delighted to have two poems appearing in the 20th anniversary issue of Sein und Werden!

Juliet Cook is excited and delighted to have two haiku poems appearing in the Spring/Summer 2024 issue of Sein und Werden! The theme of this issue is To Settle a Score and it's the 20th anniversary issue of this magazine! Here is one of her two poems, called "VIOLENT DREAD" and if you visit the link to the magazine (below the poem), it appears next to an art piece called "SELF-PORTRAIT (UNDEFINED HORROR)" by Julie Blankenship. I love the poem and art piece next to each other. ***

VIOLENT DREAD

Every bit of depth

shot down into dread. Psycho

babbling brooks with hooks.

If internal angst

internally combusts, eyes

will explode. My head

a human-sized blood

bath of burnt dumplings. Sauced out.

Splattering your plate.

It's hard to believe that this is the 20th anniversary issue of Sein und Werden and that I've had creative work appearing in this literary magazine (on and off) ever since Sein und Werden began. Sein's creator, primary editor, and writer Rachel Kendall and I first got to know each other on xanga (a blog platform that hasn't existed for years). It's hard to keep a literary magazine alive for this long, so cheers to Rachel. This issue also includes some Interviews with Rachel, such as an Interview about The Storied History of Sein und Werden.

I shall stop my babbling for now, but again, I'm delighted to be included in this 20th anniversary issue and will place a link to the whole issue below...

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...

Another NEW (Mini) Review of Juliet Cook's Newest Poetry Chapbook, "Your Mouth Is Moving Backwards"

"This is art of the bizarre and the horrific, and yet it’s strangely beautiful in its vulnerability."

Thank you very much to James Lawson Moore for his mini-review (and photo) of my newest poetry chapbook, "Your Mouth Is Moving Backwards" (published by Ethel Zine & Micro-Press in December 2023).

Read his whole review below and consider getting a copy of this chapbook for yourself (or for a poetry loving friend) from one of the links below.

From the Ethel shop - https://www.ethelzine.com/shop/your-mouth-is-moving-backwards-by-juliet-cook

From the author's own Blood Pudding Press shop - https://www.etsy.com/listing/1653667391/new-your-mouth-is-moving-backwards-a-new

"Juliet’s new chapbook is a limited run, handmade release, out by Ethel Zine & Micro Press. The poems therein are as much influenced by Twin Peaks as they are by the poet’s own inner turmoil. This is art of the bizarre and the horrific, and yet it’s strangely beautiful in its vulnerability. This is a book that cannot be missed.

Juliet Cook is JLM approved, with a bottle of Coke."

NEW! One individual poem by Juliet Cook AND two collaborative poems by Daniel G. Snethen and Juliet Cook appear in Misfit!

popular poets who don't brag
about their book sales
or haggard entrails
or latest lines of wisdom
in between rotten polished toenails."
