Film recommendation: Losing Ground (1982) by Kathleen Collins. A cult masterpiece by the late director, who passed away shortly after making this film. “Preoccupied with philosophical concerns, and fascinated with the interplay between imagery and poetry, Collins had serious literary interests,” reads a review by Zoë Rhinehart on Music & Literature. This stunning independent drama is centred on the dissolution of a marriage between two artists: Sara Rogers is a philosophy professor embarking on a quest to understand ecstasy, reclaiming agency and power as she comes to terms with the volatile nature of her husband Victor and their dysfunctional relationship. This film has so much to say about art, what it means to be an artist, and the cathartic nature of creation. Without giving too much away, ultimately Sara finds herself surrendering to the ecstasy she has so long felt too stifled to explore.

The first Devotions poetry night will be taking place on 13 July, Sunday at Next Door Records 2 in Stoke Newington.

This month, we’re focusing on the theme of SURRENDER. From aspirations, wishes, pleasures, freedoms, joys, loves, and cravings, this season is about relinquishing control and yielding to the unknown.

We’ll be sharing and cultivating evocative, raw, honest work. Guest performers will be reading their poems on the night, followed by an open mic for everyone who is moved to share.

Blue Is the Warmest Color (2013)

Devotions is a poetry project guided by a spirit of delight, play, openness, and curiosity. Each cycle of Devotions celebrates a chosen theme, featuring performances from writers, artists, and musicians from all walks of life. Everyone is welcome.

As artists, we are dedicated to making poetry and art accessible. We see poetry as a moving expression of emotions, perceptions, and experiences, and accordingly encourage creativity and vulnerability in its approach. Our aim here is to provide a platform for people to play, create, release, and celebrate.

Each theme manifests in a live event and some creative material on our socials surrounding the subject: recommended reading, favourite films, playlists, and visual inspiration.

Welcome to Devotions.
