I believe the answer is:

brain drain

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'emigration' is the definition.
(I have seen 'Emigration of talent ' mean 'brain drain' so perhaps 'emigration' could also mean 'brain drain')

'experts in poetry?' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
'in' is found in the answer.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

'of' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for brain drain that I've seen before include "Movement of highly skilled people" , "Emigration of talent" , "Haemorrhaging of talent" , "Emigration of highly-skilled people" , "Emigration of well-educated people" .)

I've seen this clue in The Daily Express.
