Poet depicting void (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

ovid

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

'poet' is the definition.
(Roman poet)

'depicting void' is the wordplay.
'void' can be anagrammed to 'OVID'.
But, I am unsure how this is indicated.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for ovid that I've seen before include "Roman known for his love poetry" , "Void for a Latin poet" , "Writer" , "Roman poet, d. about AD17" , "Void for old Roman poet" .)
