Help - Poetry

So, it's all well and good to say I'm going to read more poetry, but I don't really know where to start. I'm open to suggestions.

I like the Renaissance poets and the Romantics. I tend to write loose forms but I enjoy reading the highly formatted types like villanelles, sonnets, and the like. I'm looking for poets who are a little more current.

Any ideas?

    Check out Poetry magazine. Probably will be a lot you don't like but a few that you will

    As contemporaries I really Like Mary Oliver, Gary Synder, Eevan Bolard, Wendell Berry and Nanao Sakaki.
