This issue will cause problems if two poets have the exact same name. Using the ID would be a more robust solution.
To do this gracefully, the bp_linked_author meta should work if it is either a number or a string. If a string, then query for the most recently published post title matching it. If a number, query it as a post ID.
This logic would need to be revised in two places: On the front/shop page showcases, and on single product pages below the description.
