You're basically asking, "Who do you think are the most important poets born from 1945 till now?" Since those are the ones whose work, like Auden's, should survive.
That's hard to call. They probably aren't formalists.
I hope Paul Muldoon makes it.
Maybe I'd put Charles Bernstein on that list. He's an experimentalist who makes work I actually like.
