Yes, a poet is an author. If you were asked who your favorite authors are and you included the names of poets, you would be correct.

Yes a poet is an author. Author means writer that includes novelist, poet, story-writer etc.

According to the Merriam-Webster online dictionary an author is "one that originates or creates." So, yes,a poet can be called an author. Answered by a library professional - www.gepl.org

A poet cannot be called an author, he/she is an author

Yes...all poets are authors, but not all authors are poets...think of it like this: can an apple be called a fruit? yes, all apples are fruit, but not all fruit can be called apples.
An author (he or she) "creates" something that is written, whether they be a copywriter for an advertising agency, a playwrite, a novelist, a poet, a editor, an essayest, a lyricist, etc.
