Doctorate of Ministry in Creative Writing as a Public Theologian (Whew what a long thing to say)…Achieved. I graduated from Pittsburgh Theological Seminary, Mr. Roger’s Alina Mater on Friday.
What a beautiful journey. There is a bunch of my cohort, we are nicknamed the buffalo because there are so many of us–the whole class of 35 stuck the whole program, and a good proportion of us graduated “early” this year, with more to follow next year.
What a blessing. Thank you everyone. Thank you God Thank you.

Here it is, the Booklist (Remember this is TWO classes worth) One is Poetry and the other is Experimental Poetry
……so it can be seen as either intimidating or fun Please peruse and find what you can at your local library! I’m told with ZONG its best to read it before Splay Anthem and to start with the end, which explains a lot of it! Maggie Nelson, Bluets Sam Stephenson, Gene Smith’s Sink Aisha Sabatini Sloan, Borealis Nicole Rudick, What Is Now Known Was Only Once Imagined Terrance Hayes, To Float in the Space Between Aracelis Girmay, The Black Maria John Edgar Wideman, Writing to Save a Life Chris Kraus, After Kathy Acker Heather Christle, The Crying Book Muriel Rukeyser, The Book of the Dead Eileen Myles, Afterglow M. NourbeSe Philip, Zong! (Wesleyan Poetry Series) by Nathaniel Mackey, Splay Anthem
About 1/3rd I could acquire from the library (not bad) only one was an expensive new release and it was half off (whew originally $60). I, of course, bought a bunch used. So the total was $113.80. I admit I was like wow that’s a lot; ok not really for two classes of books. So if I could grab another $120 of fundraising that would be amazing.
Do you know that an average over 200 people use my resources a day?
That means that everyone gave me $10 my Doctorate in Creative Ministry would be funded.
The next step is a double week intensive in January!
I have successfully funded 2 years in Creative Writing and shared resources thanks to all of the donations I have received thus far.
This means that every single contribution counts! It has been so meaningful to me to have your support along the way. I would not be writing without you. I have received contributions from $10-$500, and each of them have been so amazing.
If you have found my work useful, and are able to please give a donation. And if you need a receipt–drop me an email Katyandtheword at gmail and I’m happy to send your church a receipt for Katyandtheword resources
