NEW! "Another Broken Mirror" by Juliet Cook, another new poem up In Conversation at The Literary Underground!
"Organizational, generational,
outdated motivational speakers
dressed as chosen cheerleaders
telling us what to do.
We listen to the teacher,
to the governing body
as it takes control
over our own bodies."
in Juliet Cook's poem "Another Broken Mirror", newly appearing In Conversation at The Literary Underground!(This is another poem of mine that also appears in a new chapbook manuscript in progress too...)...

NEW! Juliet Cook is very excited to share her poem "Damage Control/Internal Doll House", newly appearing in Trailer Park Quarterly, Volume 17!
"My brain’s world can be a small roller coaster
ridden by sticky spider webs, spiders biting
their way out of flesh and then showing up on my face
like squiggles and wrinkles and proliferating debris,
merging past and present and future and fear
into a warped sort-of-dream/sort-of-reality
with assorted bundles of ripped off wings."
some lines from Juliet Cook's poem "Damage Control/Internal Doll House", newly appearing in the new Volume 17 of Trailer Park Quarterly!

NEW! Juliet Cook is pleased to have another new poem appearing in MasticadoresUSA!

NEW! Juliet Cook is delighted to have three new poems appearing in Misfit, Issue No. 42, Summer 2026!
"It feels like an internal ventriloquist
in which the dummy lives inside
your mind,
repeatedly trying to tell you
you're nothing special, barely alive,
you might as well be dead.
Are you talking to yourself
again or did something else invade
your brain, aiming to convince you
that you're not really you anymore?"
the beginning of Juliet Cook's poem "Dummy", one of three new poems of hers, newly appearing in Misfit Issue 42, Summer 2026!
Delighted to be included!

NEW! Juliet Cook is very excited to share that her poem "Too Much or Not Enough" is appearing In Conversation at The Literary Underground!
"...When we were like dolls,
they could cut off our fingers and toes
more easily. Maybe even cut out
our tongues. Snap a neck, invade
our brains. Diminish our bodies
with ongoing hateful clichés, ridicule,
ridiculous standards."

Currently this is the first poem in a sequence of interconnected poems that Cook been working on for quite a while now, so I guess we shall see what happens with that. Maybe when it's finally semi-done, she may try to turn it into a chapbook length manuscript of sorts.

NEW! Juliet Cook is delighted to share 3 new poems, newly appearing in Burning House Press!
"Possible poem lines emerge in bed,
in the midst of what seems like a semi-dream/
semi-reality state, followed by internal glitch
in which a semi-truck aims to run over
my new lines or my entire head."

NEW! Juliet Cook is excited and delighted that a new poem of hers, "Disengaged" is newly appearing In Conversation at The Literary Underground!
"I pull off its head, toss most of its body
inside a garbage bin. I remove
the two arms, keep them disconnected
in my bedroom, against the wall,
beside my bookcase, facing the opposite angle
away from the previous mannequin parts."
