"...K.J. Stevens, offers his readers intimate glimpses into the lives of characters facing the hardships and fluxes of life in his collection of short stories, DEVOTION, published by Crooked Steeple Press.
With language peeled-back and chalked in the skeleton of being, piety of living is layered throughout the collection in what pushes through or surfaces after a storm of pain settles…
Stevens pulls us into multi-faceted character lives effortlessly through the fluidity of his writing. DEVOTION is literary, character-driven, yet not bogged down but pulled-back exposing vulnerability and powerful searing moments of epiphany…
DEVOTION is a quick read, but an engagement with the complexity of the human psyche that will carry on after the reading experience.”
