For the moments when you need to know that someone else has been there too. An anthology of diverse, fresh, vibrant voices organised by feeling from much-loved journalist Ella Risbridger.

'Broad in scope, generous in spirit and wittily accompanied by Risbridger's commentary' Sarah Perry, author of The Essex Serpent

Set Me On Fire is an anthology for a new moment in poetry- a collection of fresh, vibrant voices from poets all over the globe, both living and dead. With an intuitive, accessible, feelings-first format, these are poems for the moments when you really need to know that someone else has been there too.

These are poems about eating and kissing and having too many feelings, about being outside and inside and loving someone so much you think you might die. They are about break-ups and getting back together and oh-god-it's-complicated-don't-ask-me moments. They are about wanting and waiting and having, about grieving and life after death and the end of the world.

They are, in other words, about being alive.

Reviews for Set Me On Fire: A Poem For Every Feeling

I credit Ella Risbridger with curing me of a deep and lasting suspicion of poetry in general, and contemporary poetry in particular. Readers of a similar disposition should be warned that this collection - broad in scope, generous in spirit and wittily accompanied by Risbridger's commentary - will likely offer a similar cure, while those already in love with the form have new and startling pleasures in store. * Sarah Perry, author of 'The Essex Serpent' *
