Margaret Atwood
Ted Kooser - writes a lot about nature, wrote a book with a friend on their morning walks.
Some others - WS Merwin (can be obscure, for some reason he resonates with me), Phillip Levine, Lucia Perillo, Naomi Shihab Nye, Kenneth Rexroth (& his Chinese & Japanese translations).
I have a bunch of individual poems that I've found that I love on my work computer. I can send them/some to you if you'd like.
I also have a lot of Oliver's, Collins's, Kooser's, and Merwin's books & some great anthologies if you'd like to borrow.
