Keats, Dylan Thomas, A. E. Housman, Archibald MacLeish, Coleridge...just to name a few. There really are quite a lot of outstanding poets. I'm doing a thorough reading and analysis of "Fern Hill" right now and I'm enjoying it a lot. Here's a link if you want: https://www.poets.org/poetsorg/poem/fern-hill

Introduction to Poetry

I ask them to take a poem
and hold it up to the light
like a color slide

or press an ear against its hive.

I say drop a mouse into a poem
and watch him probe his way out,
or walk inside the poem's room
and feel the walls for a light switch.

I want them to waterski
across the surface of a poem
waving at the author's name on the shore.

But all they want to do
is tie the poem to a chair with rope
and torture a confession out of it.

They begin beating it with a hose
to find out what it really means.

—Billy Collins

Billy Collins is a stuffy asshole and anyone who reads a full collection of his knows it.
