I suggest something with a bit of a different take - Poetry As Prayer series:

The Psalms
Emily Dickinson
Thomas Merton
Saint Francis of Assisi
Jessica Powers
The Hound of Heaven
Denise Levertov
Gerard Manley Hopkins

Not in the series but of related interest:

Poetry as Prayer: Appalachian Women Speak by Denise R. McKinney

 

Orthodox Bishop Alfeyev: "To be a theologian means to have experience of a personal encounter with God through prayer and worship."; Orthodox proverb: "We know where the Church is, we do not know where it is not."

    I have the Denise Levertov volume of that series, and it would indeed be great devotional material for Logos.
