         western music rarely uses polyrhythm, and even i have read
          that (even) bach rarely departs from a fairly monotonous grid,
          even on those odd occasions when things are not in 4. 

          
    You mean "Western music written after the Ars Nova and before Le
    Sacre", yes ?

    
    See/hear Machaut's music , particulary the chansons, for some very
    interesting rhythmic qualities.

    
          i always thought of counterpoint as where harmony and melody
          collided and gave birth to beauty.

           
    Picturesque, but not historically accurate, I'm sure you know. More
    like, where melody and melody collided. :)

    
    Best,
