'a poet's production' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both related to communication as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps you can see a link between them that I can't see?

'modest part' is the wordplay.
'part' indicates the answer is hidden within the clue.
'ODE' can be found hidden inside 'modest'.
