About the Book
Set Me On Fire Before I Blow is a mixed-medium monograph and curatorial exploration from author, artist and musician Kiki Sabater. Based on a series of notebooks kept by Sabater from 2012 to 2018, this book explores the innermost thoughts of a young female artist. Stylized photos capture intimate moments and accompany raw and unfiltered journal entries and handwritten excerpts from Sabater's notebooks. In poems, lyrics, essays, prose and photos Sabater examines what it means to be a woman, a writer, a musician, and a lover who wrestles with mental illness and shares these experiences without boundary or judgement.

"Authentic. Touching. Dark. Intriguing. It's a fascinating read and a beautiful book. Highly recommended." – Amazon
"Beautifully written. A touchingly painful journey into a young woman's soul. The depths of her desperation and the joys of her small victories comes through in her writing. A haunting book the will stay with you long after the last page is turned. Highly recommend." – Amazon
"Great collection of poetry. Sabater’s collection is both dark and hopeful. A stunning read." – Amazon
"The way that the author Kiki lays her heart out on these pages is worthy of a round of applause. Not to mention how effortlessly she paints images of all the emotions we as humans have felt but rarely want to admit. Insecurities about love, image, decisions; everything she touches is raw and open just as these things should be, even if society says to bottle them up inside. This is a must buy. You'll see inside of Kiki while also digging up some of those improperly dealt with issues deep down within yourself. Go. Buy. This." – Amazon
