Crossword Genius

Poems in fact are passed on back to her (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

odes

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

'poems' is the definition.
(ode is a kind of poem)

'fact are passed on back to her' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'her' could be 'de' and 'de' is found within the answer.
The remaining letters 'os' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't see.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

'in' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for odes that I've seen before include "verse" , "Lyric poems" , "Poems in praise" , "Keats was fond of them" , "Verses" .)
