Went through poetry in jazz (9)
I believe the answer is:
traversed
'went' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both to do with motion as well as being past participle verbs.
Perhaps they are linked in a way I don't understand?
'poetry in jazz' is the wordplay.
'poetry' becomes 'verse' (lines written in verse).
'in' indicates putting letters inside.
'jazz' becomes 'trad' (trad jazz is a type of jazz).
'verse' put into 'trad' is 'TRAVERSED'.
'through' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for traversed that I've seen before include "Travelled across zigzag course" , "Crossed" , "Went over" , "passed over" , "Came across" .)
