Or a female poet/writer

Or a fat, gay, English literary critic.

I was thinking something like Dame Edna but ruled that out. I have considered Elizabeth Barret Browning but ruled that out.

Frustrated, but still wrestling with this...
Yeah, that's why I was worried no one would get it--the clues DO lead to the answer, but this is probably not as good as my past riddles....

Of your guesses, the closest thing to the right answer is your first guess about a "thing," but none of the "things" you've guessed are correct.

There is a poet and writer involved, but are you sure this person is female...?
