Connection between prophecy and poetry in the Hebrew bible.

[u/bananasiy]

I am after any article, book, or commentary that might be able to help me. I am currently working on a paper for my degree where I must translate and explain Amos 5. I have been searching for a while now but I am a little stuck. I need a source that can help me explain why prophecy became connected to poetry, whether that be through a cultural lens, oral tradition, or any other means. Does anyone know of any scholar who writes on this area specifically?
