This might be a double definition.

'amateur' is the first definition.
(I've seen this before)

'poets?' is the second definition.
The definition and answer can be both people as well as being plural nouns.
Maybe they are linked in a way I don't understand?

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for laymen that I've seen before include "They're not members of the clergy" , "amateurs" , "People with little expertise" , "Namely, not being priests or professionals" , "Non-professionals" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sun.
