> A poet needs his pen and paper

They doesn't. People did poetry for a long time.





A pedantic point. Even in a non-industrialized tribal society an oral poet needs a mud house, sandals and various tools. Someone needs to make those, probably the poet themselves.

In that case the whole labor division and economic incentives kinda disappear, right?
