Я знаю о Гриффиновской поэтической премии: http://www.griffinpoetryprize.com/see-and-hear-poetry/ В Википедии о ней: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Griffin_Poetry_Prize Странный у Вас ник :) :)

Edgar Allan Poe reminds me of a fantastic serial called "The Following" :D . Anyone seen it?

I second Steve above for the English writers, and add TS Eliot, for French (which I read in French but are found translated) Baudelaire, Mallarme, Rimbaud, to name a few. I am also a big fan of the micro-fiction/poetic style of writing by some of my friends', self published work, for example Marc Moorash.

I don't know much modern poetry. Some classics though are by Robert Frost and Edgar Allen Poe. One of my favorite poems that is more like a story is called Rhyme of the Ancient Mariner. When I was a kid I lived the book of poems by Shel Silverstein called Where The Sidewalk Ends. I also enjoy Japanese poems that are translated such as Haiku style and Cinquain etc.
