In 'Devotion', Patti Smith offers a poetic and mystical perspective on the mystery of literary creation. The story begins in Paris, where a young skater inspires Smith to write. Through her walks through the city, visits to emblematic places such as the Gallimard publishing house garden, and trips to the south of France, Smith explores the sources of her inspiration and the creative process. This book is a reflection on how and why we write, and an invitation to immerse ourselves in the world of artistic creation.
Patricia Lee Smith is an American singer, songwriter, poet, and author. Her 1975 debut album Horses made her an influential member of the New York City–based punk rock movement. Smith has fused rock and poetry in her work. In 1978, her most widely known song, "Because the Night," co-written with Bruce Springsteen, reached number 13 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart and number five on the UK Singles Chart.
