Oh, come on, 14 replies and no mention of Poe? ;P

Seriously. If you're looking for classic poetry, Poe is my all-time favourite. Also agreeing with Kikster that you should check out Baudelaire and Dante.

Bukowski is modern, and they said they didn't want modern. Otherwise I would suggest Bukowski too.
If you are looking for classics I would go with Dorothy Wordsworth or William Wordsworth. Both are the best of their gender in the romantic poets. (my opinion. no offense to the tennyson and keats fans who said something)
