    Have a look at Carol Ann Duffy, particularly the poems "Valentine" and "In Mrs Tilscher's Class", she has just been made poet laureate.
    Liz Lochhead is a contemporary Scottish poet and her poem "Revelation" is a fab poem about growing up and the loss of innocence.
    Iain Crichton Smith is also good, particularly "Iolaire" about a sea disaster after WW1.
    Seamus Heaney, very good. If you like Wilfred Owen have a look at Siegfreid Sassoon and for some older amazing poets try Coleridge (esp Rhyme of the Ancient Mariner) or Keats' Odes.
    Enjoy
