I bought a collection fo ee cummings called 100 selected poems, and it was absolutely mind-bogglingly good.
I also have the complete works of Ann Sexton -- and she, at least in my book is far superior to plath if you like confessional poetry. If you want to read something that's not often talked about, William Snodgrass, who happened to be Sexton's mentor is absolutely wonderful. (He has a poem called "eye of the needle" i think that's the title anyways... it's amazing)
If you are interested in working forms, for example, haiku, then there's a 'Complete Haiku" book with Shiki, Buson, and Issa that's moderately insanely fantastic.
Leanne reminded me of Milton the otherday, I think I might go back and read some by him.
