Sacred Poetry?

[qos]

Any suggestions for sources of Pagan sacred poetry?

The classical Latin and Greek poems are still head and shoulders above the crowd, even this late on. Horace, Catullus, Pindar, others I can't remember off the top of my head at this hour of the morning... lots of good stuff. Even where the entire poem is not applicable, you can find excerpts that are of jaw-dropping beauty.

There is some great stuff here, and I like that there are mp3's, spoken word, and the community aspect:

I love my copy of Her Words (http://www.amazon.com/Her-Words-Burleigh-Muten/dp/1570624739/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1254844068&sr=8-3)

I love Rumi.

And there's a comm here on LJ which, when working properly, sends dailyrumi poems out into the blogosphere. (I think I typed that comm name correctly.)

Bibliotheca Alexandrina has some good Hellenistic stuff.

Oh, where was my BRAIN when I originally read this? *g* I only forgot Robin Skelton. Probably the best pagan poet of the 20th century, and for the last decade or so of his life the poet laureate of British Columbia. His book The Shapes of Our Singing not only details many poetic forms, it includes some superb pagan poems.
