I know many rock musicians have a preference for Yeats, Burroughs, Edgar Allan Poe, Blake...possibly because of dark themes surrounding their writings. Can anyone name me others like them?

I don't know if this is exactly what you're lookin for but try Howl by allen ginsburg.. here's a little bit:
I saw the best minds of my generation destroyed by madness, starving hysterical naked,
dragging themselves through the ***** streets at dawn looking for an angry fix,
angelheaded hipsters burning for the ancient heavenly connection to the starry dynamo in the machinery of night,
who poverty and tatters and hollow-eyed and high sat up smoking in the supernatural darkness of cold-water flats
floating across the tops of cities contemplating jazz,
who bared their brains to Heaven under the El and saw Mohammedan angels staggering on tene- ment roofs
