Writer depicting void (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

ovid

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

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

'void' is the wordplay.
'void' anagrams to 'OVID'.
But, I am unsure how this is indicated.

'depicting' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for ovid that I've seen before include "Roman known for his love poetry" , "Metamorphoses author" , "Writer" , "Void for a Latin poet" , "Classical poet" .)
