Reviews for Devotions
"The lines - sometimes single but usually paired - fold into each other like the parts of an origami bird and, like the bird, resist being opened. After all, when you unfold the bird you're left with a plain piece of paper. Meaning, elegance, pleasure - everything is in the folding." (F. D. Reeve, Antioch Review)"
