== Ethnology of edible poets ==

Today we classify at least four distinct genera of them:
:the edible wood poet
:the edible mountain poet
:the edible savannah poet
:the edible swamp poet.

There is still a (sometimes heated) debate going on about the question whether the coastal manifestation of the edible poet is to be treated as a genus of its own, or has to be classified as a subgenus of the respective adjacent inland form. Purely maritime types of edible poets have too rarely emerged yet to really have been studied at all; the most widely agreed hypothesis is that they are rather an aberration of the coastal type (or types — depending which side of the 'coastal escarpment' you're on) than a genus of its own. No aerial edible poets have been reported yet. There have been, however, sketchy descriptions recently of sightings of a possible new genus, the edible cave poet. Although another heated argument has risen immediately, whether they might not be a sub-type of the edible mountain poet.

But this shall be enough of this kind of scientific narcissism and vanity.

They gather for a few days each year for the only social interaction between them worth mentioning: exchanging poetry — and of course mating (in the ethnology of edible poets these two are considered more or less the same thing).

 From the [[Famous Planets]] description of [[Sector2/Rave]]:
 The Raveian edible arts graduate is considered to be a food source by the smart Shrews of Rave. This form of cannibalism is infamous around the local sector but on Rave it is a tradition. The smart Shrews of Rave believe that by eating arts graduates they can acquire a higher form of knowledge. The graduates provide themselves of their own free will after living for 20 years in royal conditions. The eating ceremony is an ancient ritual and remains off-limits for the visitor.
