Based on the canonization campaign that seems to be ramping up for him in the Archdiocese of Washington, D.C., I'd say Mattie Stepanek may well be one of them.

Perhaps I have a heart of stone, but I think his case demonstrates that the longevity of someone's work is not always evidence of its literary merit.

(See the first four poems here to render your own verdict.)
