George Herbert's Books
Some very striking religious poetry including acknowledgement and respect of some non-Christian religions. In some ways, more powerful than John Donne.
I have always loved the poetry of George Herbert since I was introduced to it in my English lit class in high school. I have always been fascinated with his poems that visibly "look like" the title of the poem. "EasterWings", for instance, looks like wings! See http://www.ccel.org/h/herbert/templ...
