Of course we have tons of beautiful prayers and writings, but is anyone familiar with any Orthodox Christian poetry, ancient or new, that has been published?

CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

Songs of Time and Season (ISBN 1-4116-0596-9) is a newly published collection of poetry by Andrew Stephen Damick, an Orthodox Christian and lover of English literature. In it, he attempts to come to grips with many of the central themes of life in Christ -- what it means to love truly, the inner meaning of repentance, communion with the Divine, the great feasts of the Orthodox Church, holy places, and other central themes of sojourn in this earthly life. It features prominently his epithalamion Tradition's Time, a 12-stanza 365-line poem written for his own wedding which is arranged around the Church calendar.

Ancient wise, I've heard St. Ephraim the Syrian described as a poet but haven't seen his works. Also there is a St. Caedmon who I believe is an Orthodox saint, but I could be wrong.
