Writer of some poetry (3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

poe

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

This might be a double definition.

'writer' is the first definition.
(Edgar Allan Poe)

'some poetry' is the second definition.
The definition suggests a singular noun which matches the answer.

'of' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for poe that I've seen before include "The Raven poet" , "He wrote short stories" , "Edgar Allan ..., American writer of the macabre" , "Edgar Allan . . ., American writer of horror stories" , "Name of writer" .)
