People like TH -Heaney did The Rattle Bag with him - but I've not liked his work much since undergrad days. It seems very blustery to me - "terrifying are the sleek black thrushes on the lawn." No Ted, they're not. Plath OTOH is amazing, she doesn't need to beat her flanks into a lather to be scary.
Cheers,

She is good, isn't she? I also like this lady, though her poems tend to the long side: https://www.poetrynook.com/poem/jerboa
