I'm more historically inclined when it comes to poets but a few do spring to mind -
John Cooper Clarke - British 'punk' poet
Drive She said - John Cooper Clarke
Benjamin Zephaniah - rastafarian 'dub' poet
Dis poetry by Benjamin Zephaniah
Seamus Heaney - more traditional poet - Irish but not dead so I reckon he qualifies. I don't know if you need to be Irish to enjoy his poems fully but he did get the Nobel prize for literature so he mustn't be that bad.
