Revolutionary art and poetry making you cross (8)
I believe the answer is:
traverse
'cross' is the definition.
(I know that cross can be written as traverse)
'revolutionary art and poetry' is the wordplay.
'revolutionary' says the letters should be written in reverse (letters revolve around).
'and' says to put letters next to each other.
'poetry' becomes 'verse' (lines written in verse).
'art' in reverse letter order is 'tra'.
'tra'+'verse'='TRAVERSE'
'making you' is the link.
(Other definitions for traverse that I've seen before include "Cross sideways" , "Move across" , "Extend or bridge across" , "Go across" , "cover" .)
