Tough call, but I think I'd say Ted Hughes. If contemporary meant within the last century, then I'd go with Wallace Stevens.

For something edgy, I really enjoy Nicole Blackman.
For something more contemporary, Maya Angelou.

My vote goes to Maya Angelou. Even when she speaks in public she sounds poetic. Try her poetry.
