First figure out what style of poetry you like. Do this by reading some sort of anthology. I would recommend Perrine's Sound & Sense, which can be on the expensive side depending on what edition you buy, but is probably the most useful book I've ever bought. It was required for one of my high school classes, but I can't count the number of times I've referred back to it since then or just sat down and reread it for the hell of it.
Two protips for reading poetry: (1) take a lot of time with each poem; read it more than once; consider the significance of all its elements, and (2) don't pause (mentally or out loud) at the end of a line unless there's punctuation there. Sorry if you think that's really basic advice; I'm just surprised at the number of people who don't know this. It improves comprehension a lot.
That said, the most recent poetry collections I've read and would recommend are Common Wealth: Contemporary Poets of Virginia, The Book of Medicines by Linda Hogan, Ideal Cities by Erica Meitner, and Ariel by Sylvia Plath. If you're looking for something less contemporary, John Donne is my favorite poet of all time.

Poems About Anything And Everything By Dennis A. Massei
Featuring my personal favorite: Thank God For Moms Like You
Your Tender Touch, the gleam in your eyes,
set off a glow brighter than sunny skies;
The advice you give, with the good deeds you do,
thank God for moms like you:
Your gleaming smile, the love in your heart,
you convey to us, that's where it all starts;
The touch of your hand paints a picture so true,
why we all thank God for moms like you:
Your caring thoughts and the little things you say,
your presence we hold so dear, day after day;
Your love to us, and our love to do,
thank God for moms like you:
The love we feel is so strong,
Mom, you're very seldom wrong;
And if I die before this world is through,
I at least thanked God for moms like you.

> Natalie Diaz was born and raised in the Fort Mojave Indian Village in Needles, California, on the banks of the Colorado River. She is Mojave and an enrolled member of the Gila River Indian Tribe. Diaz teaches at Arizona State University and the Institute of American Indian Arts Low Rez MFA program. Her first poetry collection is When My Brother Was an Aztec.
------
"I write hungry sentences," Natalie Diaz once explained in an interview, "because they want more and more lyricism and imagery to satisfy them."
In case you do come back to check on this, and you're still in recovery, you should totally check out this book of poetry. Might give you a different appreciation on Thanksgiving.
