Here's one more book of poetry that's really worth it:
Mark Strand
Reasons for Moving
Oh, and Mark everything I've suggested is a book.
If you'd like a list of individual poems (which should be mostly on the web to give you an idea):
Louise Gluck: The Wild Iris, The Brown Circle, The Parable of the Dove, Gretel in Darkness, Mock Orange, Midnight
Mark Strand: Moontan, From the Long Sad Party
Sylvia Plath: Mirror
Pablo Neruda: Tonight I Write the Saddest Lines
Charles Simic: The White Room, Eyes Fastened With Pins
James Wright: The Seasonless, A Blessing
Charles Bukowski: dreamlessly, Genuis of the Crowd
Sharon Olds: Sex Without Love, I Go Back to May 1937
Carolyn Forche: Selective Service, Reunion
Wislawa Szymborska: The Joy of Writing
Dorianne Laux: The Tooth Fairy
I'll think of more but most of those should be online.
