St. Katherine Review Anthology

Where does the sacred meet the ordinary? St. Katherine Review Anthology: Poetry and Prose brings together selected writing published in St. Katherine Review between 2019 and 2025. Across poetry, fiction, and creative nonfiction, these contemporary writers encounter mystery and meaning in family, memory, grief, mortality, the natural world, ecological crisis, prayer, repentance, and love. Organized into ten thematic sections-Light/Sky; Childhood; Love; Remembrance, Repentance; Flora; Mortality; Water; Animals; Ecological Crisis; and Psalms/Song-the collection creates a conversation across voices, traditions, experiences, and literary forms. Some pieces tell stories; some move like songs; all look beneath the surface of everyday life toward beauty, mercy, connection, and the invisible presence shining through the visible world. Edited by poet Sheila Murray-Nellis, this wide-ranging anthology invites readers into a literary community attentive to both the beauty and brokenness of being human. It will appeal to readers of spiritual poetry, nature writing, contemplative literature, and thoughtful contemporary writing about faith, hope, loss, and wonder.
