Life as an Onion: a poetry collection

By Renée Novosel

Writer, mother, philosopher, and student of experience Ren?e Novosel, draws from a decade of poetry to compile her debut collection Life as an Onion that unpeels life's layers of love, heartbreak, death, growth, and acceptance.

The onion is an understated archetype that is either loved or loathed. Its lachrymal compounds make us cry, its skin is dirty and brittle, and for many, it isn't pleasant when eaten raw. However, this loathsome vegetable becomes rich, sweet, and entirely satisfying with patience, slow heat, and attention. An onion's journey is a story of transformation. An onion's journey is parallel to many of our own.

In Life as an Onion, Novosel explores the sharp tears of love's sting, the dull ache of life's challenges, and the sweet rewards that arrive with patience. She hopes that her reflections can help others on their path to acceptance and self-actualization as much as they have helped her.
