"The third book of poetry I've read by Juliet Cook and this one feels very different to the others, there is a strong rawness to the writing which wasn't as obvious in the previous books, there is still that dreamlike quality and it still seems to straddle that razor's edge between life and death."
from a new review by Jason Denness of an older poetry chapbook by Juliet Cook, "Soft Foam" (Blood Pudding Press for Dusie Kollektiv 4, 2010)

A wonderful NEW review of Juliet Cook's poetry chapbook, "SOFT FOAM"!
Another wonderful review by Casey Kiser, of another Blood Pudding Press poetry chapbook by Juliet Cook, "Soft Foam"!
"Currently, my absolute favorite Juliet Cook collection. Though, I have a lot to go.
I got half-way through and had to call my drug dealer.
I put her poetry in the genre of gateway drug ;)
This is some fine-tuned chaotic brilliance. An insomniac's delight.
She is quite a master of words. Every poem in this one left me drooling.
Absolute favorites: ALL OF THEM, 'Squiggles in Wonderland'.
Maybe, once I collect all Juliet's books, I will just giveaway my tv.
'This drunk compliments my legs.
I compliment my own legs in my head
in an other's voice. All it takes
to induce another fantasy.'
-From 'Sink or Float (drunk fantasy)"
