Good list. One glaring omission, which OP also noticed, is Hemingway. He has haters even among literary critics, though.

I don't ever remember reading Stevens or Crane.

They are 20th century modernist poets. Wallace Stevens, believe it or not, was a conservative business insurance salesman by day. He only wrote poetry on the side, and critics put him right up there with frost.

I do not particularly care for his poems though. I rarely understood any of them.
