Hopkins is very good. Windhover is very good.
I like Heaney, who is modern and Irish. Try The Skunk or Personal Helicon if you can be arsed.

I did my staggeringly great leaving cert essay for poetry on Heaney so I've actually read both of those before. I've just never liked him that much for some reason. I dislike his down-to-earthness and colloquial nature and while he's obviously a fantastic poet it just doesn't appeal to me that much.
