“Devotion is short enough to devour at one enjoyable sitting
and thought-provoking enough to deserve re-reading. . . . It’s a
privilege to spend any time with Patti Smith, however brief.”—Suzi
Feay, Financial Times
“A triptych of compact, heartfelt essays on discovery, solitude and
writing.”—Darragh McManus, Irish Independent
“By turns allegorical, metaphysical, fictional and factual,
Devotion shows rather than tells what it means to give a life to
writing. A master of poetic innovation, Smith takes her style to
the next level in this slim volume.”—Katherine Cooper,
Hyperallergic
