Witty, humorous, and oh so tender, Accidental Devotions reminds us that in the end, life is a brief devotion of moments–beautiful, accidental, and always–gone too soon.
Kelli Russell Agodon’s latest collection, Accidental Devotions, seeks to find meaning in a world lit by screens and haunted by ghosts–both real and digital. Blending humor with vulnerability, these poems embrace the beautiful chaos of our relationships, of aging and being human. Here, explorations of desire, technology, and spirituality ring out like birdsong through a chapel. Sharp and playful, Accidental Devotions is for the quiet rebels and devoted readers–for those who carry ashes to the beach, ask Alexa for guidance, keep Emily Dickinson’s book on the nightstand, or fall in love mid-sentence. With queer tenderness, and an ongoing devotion to desire, these poems make room for grief and joy, pleasure and struggle. The result: a dazzling, defiant field guide to staying human.
