'poet' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

I cannot understand how the remainder of the clue works.

(Other definitions for brooke that I've seen before include "Rupert --, WW1 poet" , "Rupert --, English war poet" , "Rupert __ , poet, d.1915" , "See 1" , "one called Rupert" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
