Herman Melville, whose poetry I quite enjoy.
John Updike, though I like his prose much more than his poetry. (edited to add: Damn you, Cantor!)
Robert Penn Warren, though I suppose he might be considered a poet first.
Tolkien fits in the Rowling/Dahl category Tom mentioned.
Piercy and Dobyns are poets first in my mind.
