The most consistently and biblically Christian poet I've ever read. Herbert is my all-time favourite poet. His poetry is very deep at times, and often takes some meditating and re-reading to draw out all the meaning (but doesn't most good poetry?); it is definitely worth it - a gold mine of spiritual insight.

I cannot recommend him highly enough!

Eh, not my kind of thing. Very interesting, though. I would have to say that I like the way he discusses his strong devotion to God because he questioningly does so. I'm a big fan of people that do not blindly follow something without ever second guessing it.
