NEW! A collaborative poem by Daniel G. Snethen and Juliet Cook is appearing in Issue #106 of Yellow Mama!

Blood splatters the chalkboard
like malicious bite marks
which coagulate, then flow like crimson ink
spelling out in perfect combination:
"Here's Johnny!"
as the enraged father figure/evil teacher/bus driver

spits in my face, screams at me for being
a finicky eater, insists I stick my pinky finger
inside the pencil sharpener
and I do so—obediently, though it hurts.

in "Dire Wolf Consequences", a collaborative poem by Daniel G. Snethen and Juliet Cook, which is appearing in Yellow Mama Issue #106!

Preceded by art created by Keith Coats Walker!

Here's a link to the collaboration, but read Daniel's individual poems in this issue too, as well as investigating some of the other creepy fiction and poetry and art!

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.
