What is the persona in a poem?

Persona poetry is poetry that is written from the perspective of a 'persona' that a poet creates, who is the speaker of the poem. Dramatic monologues are a type of persona poem, because "as they must create a character, necessarily create a persona".

In a persona poem, the poet takes on a character and writes from his or her perspective using first-person point-of-view. So the "I" in the poem isn't the poet; it's the character. ... While you let that one sink in, check out these examples of persona poems: "My Last Duchess" by Robert Browning.
