A writer of poems is defined as a poet. On Lothal resided Holshef, a human male who expressed himself as both a poet and an artist. To demonstrate his unhappiness with how the Galactic Empire's strategies were impacting his planet, he composed poems and created paintings, actions that led to an order for his capture and subsequent need to conceal himself. The Master Codebreaker was once called a "poet with a blaster" by Maz Kanata.
