“Devin Kelly's writing is simply beautiful, regardless of subject. Much like good poetry, these weekly essays are writing you can feel. This newsletter is an insight into both his mind and poetry I'd otherwise never know. It's a reminder that poetry can still be vital. ”

“Devin's Sunday morning meditations walk with me the rest of the week, often longer. I love his searching mind, how a poem works on him, and then he works on us, pulling two or three other poems along for the ride, and he brings something so human and loving out of each one. ”
