Answer Details
An address to a metaphysical source of inspiration by a poet is called an "invocation." It is a literary technique in which the poet directly appeals to a higher power or source of inspiration, such as a deity or muse, to guide and inspire their work. The purpose of an invocation is to seek divine or supernatural assistance in the creative process, to elevate the poem to a higher level, and to establish a connection between the poet and the divine. Invocations are often found in epic poems and are a common feature of classical literature.
