My list - contemporary in the fact that almost all published 1950+ with some of these authors still going strong...

Billy Collins
Ted Kooser
Jim Harrison
Philip Larkin
Frank O'Hara
John Ashbery
Kenneth Koch
Ted Berrigan
Ron Padgett
WS Merwin

Robert Bly
Tony Hoagland
Paul Muldoon

Seamus Heaney
Charles Simic

Donald Revell
George Bilgere
James Tate
Bill Knott
Joyce Sutphen
Linda Pastan

My go to for getting anyone into poetry are the top three on this list - Collins, Kooser, and Harrison. Watch something by them on YouTube to get a feel for cadence and then dive in.
