Recommendations can be a bit tricky and purely subjective but here are a few you may like:
Stephen Dobyns "Velocities": https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/014058...UTF8&psc=1
Nick Flynn "Some Ether": https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/155597...UTF8&psc=1
Marie Howe "What the Living Do": https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/039331...UTF8&psc=1
Mark Strand "Reasons for Moving": https://www.amazon.com/Reasons-Moving-Ma...for+moving
Strand wrote this in '68 (may have been reissued in '80). It isn't as easy to find. He rewrote prose using this title as part of the name so you want the older work.
I'm leaving a lot out.
