Maker

Maker is an old word for a poet, especially in Scots and older English writing. It emphasizes the poet as a creator who makes a poem rather than simply writes one. The word is sometimes used today in literary or ceremonial contexts, such as Scottish references to a national poet.

Example

The maker stood by the winter shore,
turning salt wind into song.
