A New Review of Juliet Cook's poetry chapbook, "red flames burning out"! - "...lies bare on the tracks for our entertainment..."

 "As a lover of darker poetry. Juliet soothes my soul, always reminding me that I'm not alone in this {bored} game of Life. I tip my Bridal Meat hat to the queen of confessional macabre. Juliet brings the raw side-show to town with every collection and lies bare on the tracks for our entertainment. (Doll) heads-up though, there are plenty cringy moments here for sure. But, only cringy as you realize the level of sheer vulnerability you're dealing with, and then you wonder if you're worthy to be reading all of this personal splatter of pure in-the-moment emotional truth bombs. Lots of deep breaths. It's intense.

My favorites are 'Dried Flowers and Spit Out Seeds', 'My Bridal Meat Doll', 'Chicken Corset' and 'Mangled is Still Alive'. Also, the cover artwork is so stunning. Another quality book from one of the most authentic poets out there."

"I might spend that unknown time frame of post-seizure
memory loss walking alone along an unknown road

and then get dragged into an unknown alley,
and then wake up in pain and have no clue
where I am, what happened to me or
where all this blood is coming from."

in one of her Internal Suffocation poems within the chapbook

This is another cover photo of Juliet Cook's NEW poetry chapbook, "red flames burning out", published by Grey Book Press in April 2023.

And also a photo scan of the poem in the middle of the chapbook, one of 20 poems within the collection.

The collection incudes...

“Broken doll fingers bulging their way out of blubbering chicken wire. Losing parts of one’s self and growing new parts in the form of self-created nightmares, body and brain malfunctions, seizures and other divorces from parts of past reality. Pitching standard traditions in the trash, wrapped in drying blood. Creepy bird’s nests and fear of impending death, yet still continuing to create one’s own sizzling and burning red fire.”

This new chapbook is now one week old and still needs new homes.

"No I wasn't trying 

to kill an invisible mouse
by accidentally shooting
my seizure pill under the oven
and not being able to find it.

I'm not small enough to crawl
all the way under;
to pull you out if you are
even smaller and more invisible
than me..."

the beginning of Juliet Cook's poem "Mangled Is Still Alive".
