I find it difficult to believe that there's no poetry by anyone anywhere that you'd gravitate toward. Authors are so diverse. Personally, I had to get away from reading the classics, as weird as that sounds. I actually like the poetry of my generation (I'm 36 everybody! Now you know! As if anyone cares 
), and I would recommend checking out some contemporary volumes from the library -- books of emerging poets and young poets.
I also find it incredible that you don't think that there's a musicality to poetry. Music is my primary form of artistic expression (I'm a pianist, as is my mother). I just read "The Raven" the other night by Edgar Allen Poe, and I read it through several times just to feel the pressure of the beats.
