Are Edmond Jabès and Ralph Ellison both poets?
no
Title: Edmond Jabès
Passage: Edmond Jabès (] ; Hebrew: אדמון ז'אבס‎ ‎ , Arabic: إدمون جابيس‎ ‎ ; Cairo, April 16, 1912 – Paris, January 2, 1991) was a French writer and poet of an Egyptian origin, and one of the best known literary figures to write in French after World War II.  The work he produced when living in France in the late 1950s until his death in 1991 is highly original in its form and its breadth.
Title: Ralph Ellison
Passage: Ralph Waldo Ellison (March 1, 1913 – April 16, 1994) was an American novelist, literary critic, and scholar.  Ellison is best known for his novel "Invisible Man", which won the National Book Award in 1953.  He also wrote "Shadow and Act" (1964), a collection of political, social and critical essays, and "Going to the Territory" (1986).  For "The New York Times", the best of these essays in addition to the novel put him "among the gods of America's literary Parnassus."  A posthumous novel, "Juneteenth", was published after being assembled from voluminous notes he left after his death.
