A poet who writes or specializes in epodes; a composer of lyric poetry in classical forms.
From 'epode' + '-ist' (one who practices). A rare classical literary term for poets composing in this particular Greek-influenced form.
An 'epoist' is basically someone who mastered the tricky art of the epode—making those short lines land with impact after the longer ones, which is harder than it sounds and shows real poetic skill.
