This diminutive collection of poems expresses the author's attempts to live with a health issue that greatly affected her life. The words she chooses to express herself are creative and piercing; abstract, yet clear in intention. Frustration, acceptance and dark humor fill the lines that tell the story between the lines. Most affecting for me is the author's attempt to rescue buried memories. Another moving collection from a verbal artist.

A wonderful collection of short poems, as I read each one I felt it was describing those Rorschach images. Some really incredible imagery. Favourite was "Crepuscular Creep" very creepy and also crepuscular is a word that isn't used enough these days.

Below are a few comments from a couple of the DUSIE poets who have already read POST STROKE:
"I just read your chap, and really love it-- the whole package, I love the design, the colors, the size of the pieces, and then I love that each poem is so intense- you read the first image or phrase and that packs enough wallop, and then two words later it is just as surprising/ arresting, and repeat...
and therefore the whole thing is so intense because each time you ponder a phrase ontop of phrase you are sort of sinking into it...
I love the focused intensity and will read this one multiple times!"

"I got Juliet's chapbook through the door a couple of days ago and some of it blew me away.
I've never had a stroke but I find it intriguing to use her words to imagine the feelings.
'terrible pterodactyl necklace' !! Wow o_O"
