Mystic Poets

When I told someone I wrote mystic poetry, she said she thought mystic poets died with Rumi or Attar. Fortunately mystic poets are still live. I have compiled a partial list of mystic poets both living and dead. Some may argue that a couple of the names on this list are not mystic poet, my answer is they are not considered mystic poets. However, if you read there poetry they are mystic poets.
