Default Your recommended non-metrical poets

I wanted to start with a quick thanks for all of the assistance I've gotten on previous threads.

With this one I'm interested in getting some names you'd recommend along the lines of non-metrical poetry. Preferably poets who've been active in the past few decades, but older stuff is fine as well.

I don't think anything I include will be a big revelation for anyone, but the main names I've looked at to date:

- Leonard Cohen
- Federico Lorca
- George Seferis
- Wisława Szymborska
- Czesław Miłosz
- Rilke
- Georg Trakl
- Irving Layton

Among the above I know Cohen the best, the rest I've only touched on a little.

Thanks in advance for any help.
