Rachel O'Neill's second collection of poems, Requiem for a Fruit, continues their exploration of the form of prose poetry, to astonishing results. The poems in this book cast a slant lens on the everyday, opening up a world of possibilities and curious characters. With imagined and real dialogue, these characters converse and live as fully on the page as they would in the known world. O'Neill covers topics from love to interstellar travel, from the domestic to the absurd. Here are dowagers and dogs, a robot mother, husbands hiding behind fire trucks, and families made of stone. The landscape they populate is without reason, yet full of fruit.
Rachel O'Neill is a Pakeha storyteller who was raised in the Waikato and currently lives in Te Whanganui-a-Tara/Kapiti Coast. Rachel enjoys collaborating with writers, artists and filmmakers, and they are a founding member of the four-artist collaborative group, All the Cunning Stunts. Their debut book, One Human in Height (Hue & Cry) was published in 2013.
