Devotion is a unique and candid portrait of an artist's creative process; an intimate insight into the lineage of inspiraiton. From Simone Weil's grave in London to the South of France and the residence of Albert Camus, Patti Smith takes us, not only on a geographical odyssey, but also a tangential journey through the mind of a writer whilst asking what ingredients it takes to create a piece of work that can be considered 'timeless'. As Smith asks the reader, "Why is one compelled to write? To set oneself apart, cocooned, rapt in solitude, despite the wants of others. Virginia Woolf had her room. Proust his shuttered windows. Marguerite Duras her muted house. Dylan Thomas his modest shed. All seeking an emptiness to imbue with words. The words that will penetrate virgin territory,, crack unclaimed combinations, articulate the infinite".

Signed First US edition of Smith's second memoir, named by Smith as "a roadmap to my life". "Without a doubt we sometimes eclipse our own dreams with reality". The title of M Train is in reference to Patti Smiths "mind train", described as a tangential motor vehicle which "goes to any station it wants". Succeeding the National Book Award-winning and bestselling Just Kids, it begins in Greenwich Village, New York in the place Smith frequents for coffee each morning. The book digresses and traverses between time from a meeting of an Arctic explorers' society in Berlin to a visit to Frida Kahlo's Casa Azul to the recounting of personal losses; the tragic death of photographer Robert Mapplethorpe in 1989 of Aids and of Smith's husband, the guitarist Frend "Sonic" Smith in 1944 at age 45 and the passing of her brother Todd a mere month after. Joan Didion would write of M Train, "a book so honest and pure that has to count as a rapture". Smith's audio book recording of M Train earned a Grammy award nomination for Best Spoken Word Album.
