A small e-chap about a girl named Juliet or maybe Juliet is a concept in its self. There’s a sort of sci-fi feel to it and from what I see in reviews of the sequel to this chapbook, the next one has a post-apocalyptic feeling. This felt like the virus going through the veins of a main character in a movie that will soon gain tremendous powers.
It’s punchy and feels like every tear of those times, as a female, you are constantly let down.
Let down by the males you follow, brothers or fathers or friends, or the times society allows you to get screwed over just because you reminded everyone that you actually have feelings as a female.
Juliet is the young girl inside of us all when we feel betrayed, the confessionalist with the scrapped knees and matted hair.
The worlds in us that end every day when we go to sleep.

I just finished reading Juliet I by Sarah Certa. WOW. This chapbook is indescribably good, and I can't believe it is being offered as a free download here: http://www.h-ngm-n.com/storage/CERTA_...
The first word that came to mind as I was reading this collection was "fierce." This collection is a deeply psychological exploration of what it is like to be in an abusive relationship. I consider it a must-read for anyone.

A probing, insightful look at the experience of womanhood for a speaker with major trust issues. Like this reviewer. Worth a look for those who can relate.
