See Nada Gordon’s list here and also of course the author pages at the EPC. The CybpherAnthology--Author Index is also good. For not just mostly contemporary stuff look at yahoo’s directory of poets.
Many of these links are from the EPC, but this is MY list of people I’ve read and like who have an online presence. Of course it changes and suggestions are welcome.
