Go over revolutionary art and poetry (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

traverse

'go over' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'revolutionary art and poetry' is the wordplay.
'revolutionary' shows that the letters should be reversed in order (letters revolve around).
'and' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'poetry' becomes 'verse' (lines written in verse).
'art' in reverse letter order is 'tra'.
'tra'+'verse'='TRAVERSE'

(Other definitions for traverse that I've seen before include "get across" , "In mountaineering, a steep slope to be crossed from side to side" , "Ski diagonally across (a slope)" , "Go across" , "Move across" .)
