Off the top of my head...

Pound's Literary Essays

Zukofsky's A Test of Poetry

Ciardi's How Does a Poem Mean

... have all been useful to me. Otherwise, since there are particular poets you're interested in, you should definitely check out any (auto)biographical books that may be available.

For the record, if you haven't already read him, I'm a big Louis Zukofsky fan; given your list, I think you'd like his stuff. "A" is probably my favourite poem generally, and they very recently released the new edition of it. Part 9 (if I remember correctly) is composed of quotes from Das Kapital and he has some very significant Marxist influences. If you're interested in reading up on Marxism, too, I can recommend some excellent critical books - although, as it stands, Schumpeter's Capitalism, Socialism and Democracy is really good general view of things.

Hope this helps!
