NEW! A Review of (the temporarily revived) Blood Pudding Press poetry chapbook, The Laura Poems!
"The abuse has begun by the time Laura is ten years old. BOB has been climbing through her bedroom window at night to molest her. She must stuff toilet paper in her heart-patterned panties to stop the bleeding.Already, the seeds of darkness are being planted in Laura's psyche. Laura imagines being snatched up by an owl's talons, flying, then being dropped onto iron spikes. Laura says, "At least [I] can imagine / being dropped. Falling / falling / falling / in love with the dark spikes.""
from Eileen Murphy's new review of my old poetry chapbook, The Laura Poems (which was temporarily made available again in the Blood Pudding Press shop last month, in honor of Twin Peaks revival).Thank you very much to Eileen Murphy and Glass for writing and publishing this review.Read the whole review HERE - http://www.glass-poetry.com/journal/reviews/murphy-cook.html

NEW! A Review of the Blood Pudding Press poetry chapbook, Cutting Eyes from Ghosts!
"Bodily disintegration, decay, brokenness, and darkness are predominant images in this "new" world the ghosts find themselves in — although one may argue that this world has been (and is) here all along, that there is nothing new about it at all.Interestingly, the ghosts in these poems share some anxieties in common with living human beings: desire, hunger, pain, cessation of breathing, and the brokenness that is reflected in broken, decomposing bodies (the disappearing home)."From a very interesting new review of the Blood Pudding Press poetry chapbook, "Cutting Eyes from Ghosts" by Ariana D. Den Bleyker.Thank you very much to Mary Riley and Glass Poetry Press for writing and publishing this review.

"So long ago her smile disappeared. Years
she’s been drawing it dark. Red, black; the ants
in the sugar bowl have consumed all the sugar
and their pincers are a massive mutation.
An invasion spiked into infestation."from a poem within "The Laura Poems" by Juliet Cook, temporarily available again in the Blood Pudding Press shop.HERE - https://www.etsy.com/listing/528766337/the-laura-poems-by-juliet-cook-temporary?ref=shop_home_active_2

"tear this website down with my teeth, find another inside of me - over the insanely sharp edge - the sheep skull knocking - always heavy with a bucketful of evil - you need a lobotomy - from the plume of exhaust - I have already been called kindling - Liquid shards of glass pierce the tongue, esophagus and comprehension - They stay away as if he’s contagious - From a bubble trapped under a fragile film blue rivulets burst forth - electrocuting his testicles many times - defining their glass heads propped on a strict spine - the cheeks doused with rouge to the point of partial red - she went up in flames, to wherever..."
