Hello, I was wondering if someone can recommend any good poetry books that have came out in the past few years? I know there's probably a lot, but I haven't read too many newer authors. Any help would be appreciated.

Check out recent releases by Faber and Faber, they usually put out the better new poetry collections. Simon Armitage and Michael Longley, and Seamus Heaney are more recent good poets if you are looking for a few names.

I enjoyed Sharon Olds' "Stag's Leap" and Mary Oliver's "A Thousand Mornings".

Those are good suggestions.
Opened Ground, the Seamus Heaney collection is also more than worth getting.

John Burnside's Black Cat Bone is good, as is his All One Breath.
Helen Mort's Division Street, Katie Tempest's Brand New Ancients and Adam Horovitz's Turning have been good.
