What is the narrator of a poem called?
Maelezo ya Majibu
The narrator of a poem is typically called the "speaker." In poetry, the speaker is the voice behind the words of the poem. It is the persona created by the poet to convey their thoughts, feelings, and experiences through the poem. The speaker may or may not be the same person as the poet, and the speaker's identity may be explicit or implied in the text of the poem.

Therefore, if someone is asking about the narrator of a poem, they are likely referring to the speaker, who is the voice behind the words of the poem.
