Best spiritual poets?

[Writer_for_God]

Hi,
I want to focus a lot of my education and work vocation on promoting the study, comprehension, and writing of poetry. I want to know who are the best spiritual poets, who write poems on spiritual matters? Do you know names of good spiritual poets?
Thank you for any suggestions.
God bless.

I like Rumi:

“You’re water. We’re the millstone.
You’re wind. We’re dust blown up into shapes.
You’re spirit. We’re the opening and closing
of our hands. You’re the clarity.
We’re the language that tries to say it.
You’re joy. We’re all the different kinds of laughing.”
― Rumi, The Essential Rumi

Hardly Catholic, but as spiritual and mystical as they come, are the poems of William Blake.

Anything written by Fr. Frederick W. Faber (1814- 1863) is sheer poetry!!!
