Juliet Cook doesn't fit inside an Easy-Bake Oven and rarely cooks.
She does write poetry.
Her poetry has appeared in a peculiar multitude of literary publications.
Cook's tiny independent press, Blood Pudding Press, sometimes publishes hand-designed poetry chapbooks and sometimes creates other art, such as abstract painting collage art hybrid creatures.
Blood Pudding Press's spooky little sister is an online blog style literary magazine called Thirteen Myna Birds.

TWO NEW POETRY PUBLICATIONS!
Delighted to have my three remaining Internal Suffocation poems appearing within the NEW Fall 2022 Issue of Misfit!
"I might take more photos of the moon,
of the ice clinging to half-dead branches, but
then I might have a seizure on the frozen ice,
bang my head into frostbitten blood."
read more HERE - http://misfitmagazine.net/archive/No-35/cook.html

Also delighted to have two creepy new poems hiding behind the walls in the CUL-DE-SAC OF BLOOD!
"Then the Satanic tooth fairy starts tugging out
all of my remaining teeth, repeatedly screaming
that my tongue does not exist anymore.
That my voice is dead."
read more HERE - https://www.culdesacofblood.com/juliet-cook
Also, under these two poems, you can click on "Learn more about these poems" and read some of my thoughts...https://www.culdesacofblood.com/cook-about
For example...
"Women bleed and bleed until the menstrual blood stops, their bodies age, and they speed race closer to death. If you didn't get chased to death and chainsawed or stabbed or bludgeoned or otherwise eviscerated when you were younger, then it won't be long before your body starts eviscerating itself. Then you will die. Then you will only exist in a few other people's memories, perspectives, and (mis)interpretations.
Perhaps my poetry exaggerates these matters, but it's true that the real me not existing anymore is terrifying to me.
I hope that parts of me might still exist in my poetry, even if it tends towards the negative."

"This body makes me increasingly uncomfortable.
The escalating scale.
The fat with a watered down cavern inside.
The loosening tissue with fish gills drying out.
The hagfish orifices turning into fossils.
I can handle my whitening hair, but
soon I won’t be able to swim very far
away from deterioration."

your own head until it had to find a way out

Baby food for 4 seconds, baby food for 4 seconds,
expired, invisible baby food for another 4 seconds.
You try to turn it off, but then
it starts again."

"It's your fault for pulling an ex-friend's hair out

down that drain. Instead you obsessively hacked your own hair off
and stuck it inside a tiny garbage can with the bathroom door locked."

"Like a contorted ejaculation,
a liquid miasma hurls out of his mouth,
hovers in the air and then
flings itself at my face.
It sticks to my skin like a death mask
and laughs and laughs and laughs."

NEW! An Interview with me about poetry stuff, conducted by Michael Sikkema, appearing in periodicities!
"To express rather than repress. To explore my own thoughts and feelings. To extract some of the negativity out of my system. To release parts of my own repetitive streaks. To blow up my own self-created mental balloon animals. To reveal parts of the real me. To possibly connect my thoughts and feelings with others who might relate."
Me answering some interesting poetry questions from Michael Sikkema - and the interview was published by rob mclennan at periodicities : a journal of poetry and poetics.

Poet Spotlight: Juliet Cook on dolls, body, and uncomfortable poetry
"In some ways, some parts of society view and treat girls/women like dolls, with implications that our faces and bodies are more appealing than our brains. In other ways, some people find some dolls to be creepy and scary and disturbing. In other ways, most dolls stay the same size and shape for their entire existence and can only be changed by how they’re dressed or made up — unless you actually rip a doll apart and put it back together in a different way. I think I try to incorporate elements of all these aspects of dolls in my poetry."
I have an Interview up today, focused on my poetry chapbook, "DARK PURPLE INTERSECTIONS (inside my Black Doll Head Irises)" and lots of other poetry stuff too.
Thank you very much to Andrea Blythe for including me in her Poet Spotlight!
