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

'sensed hint on enclosure' is the wordplay.
'sensed' becomes 'felt' ('feel' can be a synonym of 'sense').
'hint on' becomes 'tip' (synonyms. I am not sure about the 'on' bit.).
'enclosure' becomes 'pen' (pen is a kind of enclosure).
'felt'+'tip'+'pen'='FELT-TIP PEN'

Can you help me to learn more?
