Selected
the down-and-out writer // the empty-pocketed writer
Personally, I'd go for the first (shades of George Orwell !! ).
Also, may I suggest 'the myth of the poet/writer as beggar' ?

If I may? The writers can indeed be 'rebellious', but for something as formal as a panel, 'the literature of rebellion' might be more suitable? (rebelLious/rebelLion)
