Hidden Rituals is Raquel Avolio's second book of poems. The book deals with the recurring themes through her work, such as death, rebirth, madness, love, devotion, pain and suffering, and has a blatant visual quality to it: the speaker in each one of these poems invokes and conjures scenarios of desolation, in a desperate attempt to get out of them alive and heroically.
