Poetasters

Ben Jonson

Poetaster, rhymester or versifier are contemptuous names often applied to bad or inferior poets.

The original poetasters were John Marston and Thomas Dekker as this was the name given to a 1601 play by Ben Jonson—the first to use the word in print—lampooning these two writers.

L'inspiration du poète, by Nicolas Poussin

Poet is a term applied to a person who composes poetry, including extended forms such as dramatic verse. Poets, like any artist, exist within a cultural and intellectual tradition and generally write in a specific language, but the qualities which comprise good poetry are to some extent timeless and address issues common to all humanity.
