Crossword Genius

Poet, priest and where you can read about him (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

eliot

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'poet' is the definition.
(TS Eliot)

'priest and where you can read about him' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'priest' could be 'eli' (biblical figure) and 'eli' is found within the answer.
The remaining letters 'ot' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't see.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for eliot that I've seen before include "One of two writers" , "T.S. --, poet" , "Female novelist" , "Pseudonymous writer" , "T S . . . . ., great poet of 'The Waste Land'" .)
