Yes yes yes to Muriel R. In fact I mentioned her backchannel to Doug Oliver
yesterday, wondering why no-one had brought her name up on the list.
I'd like to toss in a couple more: Johannes Bobrowski - pretty good
translations available from Matthew Mead - and Vicente Huidobro, who has
been less fortunate with his translators, except for his obra maestra,
Altazor, available in Eliot Weinberger's translation from Graywolf in the
States.
