Setting Fire To Ashes
A raw, emotionally charged poetry collection about loneliness, the whirlwind of falling in love, the inevitable heartbreak, and healing within the quiet devastation of the aftermath.
Setting Fire To Ashes is a modern poetry book for anyone who's felt alone, saved by love, and had to say goodbye to someone you used to know. This searing debut collection by up-and-coming literary powerhouse, Mitchell Coriell, captures a narrative over six sections: the smokey haze of loneliness, the spark of something new emerging, the chaotic wildfire of falling in love, the solemn destructive blaze of the end you didn't want, poking at embers in hopes of a re-emergence, and finally the ashes of a love completed. Centered on one romance, beginning, middle, and end, this collection covers all moments that can speak to all readers in all different moments of their romantic journeys.
Wherever you may be, love, grief, or healing, these poems speak to the deep, quiet, introspective moments we rarely say out loud (even when we should).
A perfect gift for anyone who has loved and lost.
