Summaries of Poe items out (8)
I believe the answer is:
epitomes
'summaries' is the definition.
(epitome is a kind of summary)
'poe items out' is the wordplay.
'out' indicates anagramming the letters (out can mean wrong or inaccurate).
'poe'+'items'='poeitems'
'poeitems' anagrammed gives 'EPITOMES'.
'of' acts as a link.
(Other definitions for epitomes that I've seen before include "Perfect examples" , "Standards or typical examples" .)
