If we are going to think of it, there are thousands of poets who had written their pieces already. We all know how huge of an impact poems have to people, that's why we should read more poems if we want to be emotional sometimes. Among the poets that you presented above, I only got the chance to meet some of them through the poems they have written. William Shakespeare has to be my favorite and Carol Ann Duff has the potential to be my favorite too!
