Devotion by Patti Smith

A spare, lyrical collection of short essays and prose-poems that reads like a series of prayers and love letters to creativity, longing, and the sacred; the writer reflects on childhood, desire, loss, and the hunger for transcendence, blending memory and meditation in a voice at once intimate and austere. Through fragmentary vignettes she traces the quiet, persistent force that drives an artist—faith in language and music, reverence for beauty, and the stubborn need to keep seeking meaning amid everyday life.
