NEW in Burning House Press - 3 Poems by Juliet Cook and j/j hastain!

j/j hastain and Juliet Cook have three poems up at Burning House Press today, within the Labyrinth! Thank you to Guest Editor Dhiyanah Hassan!

"My painkillers are killing me,
but I continue to take them
just like I continue to take myself
out to the local bar.
The thing is, I’m full
of negativity and need
to tone it down by drinking"

Introducing the final Thirteen Myna Birds flock of 2019!

Happy Holidays, whatever that means to you! Hopefully it involves oodles of poetry! 🖤

This flock is like a strange and scary and oddly misshapen stocking stuffed with mutant wings of poetry by Holly Day, Howie Good, Kristin Garth, Davide Nixon, Thomas E. Simmons, and Gary Beck!

Then at the bottom of the flock are three creepy doll poems by Daniel Snethen, from his PEDIOPHOBIA poetry chapbook, coming very soon from Blood Pudding Press!

"The morning sun is the beginning of my offensive day - The town, the river, the woods just kept on screaming - The whole downtown was sinking an inch a year even as downtown properties continued to rise in value - just like the perfect baby that somehow came out of me - I need more holes always surrounding me - spitting expired spirits, and old smoke in young lungs - open throated barely legal ghosts - software insertion - little bouquets of truth are buried - watching nothing, dreaming of nothing - When robots develop a sense of the macabre They’ll have approached human equivalency - Thunderstorms are people - broken contortions - with breathing machines hooked up - Something rising unbidden out of the dark - You’re moving away rather than moving toward something. I can't be sure if you’ll ever come back."

NEW in Ghost City Review - "Please Respond" by Juliet Cook and j/j hastain

"the foliage starts on fire inside the oven.
The worlds last redwood forest appears there,
singing songs from the perspective of prized trees,
blood spewing out of their broken branches,
bird nests screaming, biohazardous wings."

in the poem "PLEASE RESPOND" by Juliet Cook & j/j hastain, in the new July issue of Ghost City Review

The NEW June Flock of Thirteen Myna Birds has Arrived!

Mother-in-Law's Tongue by MISH

"I am the rusty fence wrapped around the graveyard - all week the rainsoaked pavements have been white with second-hand sunshine - treading your breath - I watch you fly off without me - I was supposed to be your island not the sea you drown in - Pain receded to an ache, then to nothing worth noticing - My heart is full of dust - The wet was water, was pus, was blood, was stink - I should never have told her that I wrote any poetry."

The new June flock of Thirteen Myna Birds has arrived, offering art by MISH and poetry by Ann Kestner, DS Maolalai, Michael A. Griffith, and Brittany Sabatino!

Juliet Cook's Two New Poetry Chapbooks - side by side!

"My stomach is churning
into a giant container
of gelatinous tapioca pudding.

The last time I remember liking pudding

was when I was a little girl.

Now it just makes me gag.

I see a mean nursing home attendant

force feeding pudding to the elders

she doesn't like, even if they told her not to

when they could still speak for themselves
and open their own mouths by choice.

When I could still speak for myself,
I told them I didn't like their fucking pudding.

Now that I can't tell them to stop,

they'll shove as much of it inside me as they can

until I choke on tiny clots.

some lines from DARK PURPLE INTERSECTIONS...

***

"I'm too young for girdles.

I'm too old for weekly waxing

off the pussy hair. Off with my head,

with my mixed-up, middle-aged digits.

One side fine tuned, trimmed, and bleached;

the other side a hairy, dirty, blood drenched mess,

screaming like a decimated blow torch."

some lines from Another Set of Ripped-Out Bloody Pigtails

***

are replaced with fish hooks
in certain rows.

In other rows,
the director is aiming

NEW in MANTICORE - Hybrid Writing From Hybrid Identities - collaborative poetry and art by Juliet Cook and j/j hastain and many more!

"...How did she get pregnant
or is she just dripping out

another poisonous tale. Spinning through
immaculate corrections. All of her drafts
floating wildly in the wind, trying to
change the clouds into colors that don't exist

so she can see what's not really there..."

"MANTICORE - Hybrid Writing From Hybrid Identities" is a new Anthology (published by Sundress Publications), filled with tons of hybrid writing and art, including a collaborative poem by j/j hastain and Juliet Cook, followed by one of our collage art pieces right after our poem, plus another of our college art pieces at the end of the collection, before everyone's bios!

Each of our collage art pieces are titled using lines from our poem (SHE SAYS TO HERSELF "I AM" and YELP COMES OUT).

Our poem is titled THE DARKNESS TURNS BRIGHT.

"I might be misaligned...inside my DARK PURPLE INTERSECTIONS"

"I might be misaligned, but
even though I might not know

exactly who I am, I didn't ask
for someone else's advice on how to

replace my webs with something less sticky."

A sample of part of a poem within Juliet Cook's new Blood Pudding Press for Dusie Kollektiv 9 chapbook, "DARK PURPLE INTERSECTIONS (inside my Black Doll Head Irises)".

poetry mini interview (part five)

Juliet Cook is up at poetry mini interview again (Very short interviews with poets, Conducted by Thomas Whyte), where poets offer 5 short answers to 5 short questions, one per week.

Here's her FIFTH and final answer - http://poetryminiinterviews.blogspot.com/2019/04/juliet-cook-part-five.html

(I must have answered this question a while ago, because NOW one of the chapbooks I refer to has had its name slightly changed to "Dark Purple Intersections (inside My Black Doll Head Irises)" and it is DONE and will be revealed VERY SOON - AND the other chapbook I mention, "red circles into nothing" was recently accepted by Clare Songbirds Publishing - AND I created ANOTHER new chapbook and had that one accepted too!)
