Here are some ones that I like (read more than once):
Louise Gluck
The Wild Iris
James Wright
You should be able to get a complete collection of his work
Charles Simic
The Voice at 3 AM
Carolyn Forche
The Country Between Us
Phillip Levine
What Work Is
Li-Young Lee
Rose
Pablo Neruda
(again should be a best of type collection)
Wislawa Szymborska
View with a Grain of Sand: Selected Poems
Rainer Maria Rilke
Rilke's Book of Hours: Love Poems to God
Let's stop there. I'm already probably overdoing it.
