Here’s the tag: Five poetry collections you may not have read but certainly must:
Richard Hugo, “The Lady in Kicking Horse Reservoir”
Thomas Lux, “Selected Poems”
Dan Pagis, “Variable Directions: The Selected Poems of Dan Pagis”
Sharon Olds, “The Dead and the Living“
Yehuda Amichai, “Selected Poetry of Yehuda Amichai”
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
The collections, for whatever reason, should be a bit off the beaten path. And need not have caused the earth to open and swallow you whole.
I'm not sure how far "off the beaten path" these collections are, but at least they're not on the main thoroughfare.

I'd say Lux and Olds are definitely "on" the path, but they should both be read. Good selection!
Poeta En San Francisco - Barbara Jane Reyes
Singing Yet - Stan Rice
Utterance: A Museology of Kin - Cherryl Floyd-Miller
Late - Cecilia Woloch
Whore - Sarah MaClay
Your list is quite impressive. There's a few on it that definitely have caught my eye. Thanks,
