dc.description.abstractPoetry is one of the literary genres in Yorùbá studies which scholars have endeavoured to classify in various categories. This study aims at closing the gap the existing classifications have created by a slight modification. The study relies on existing literature on classifications of poetry in Yorùbá studies. Examples of such classifications are Olábímtán (1974), Fólórunṣó (1998) and Fálétí (2009) that are critically examined to come up with a new classification. The study reveals that though these classifications are helpful, but they are not all embracing of the Yorùbá poets. The study concludes by suggesting a four broad classification of the Yorùbá poetry and poets. These are literate poets, commercial poets, poem recorders and poem translators.en_US
