Poet with a bare head is depressed (5)

I believe the answer is:

auden

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

'poet' is the definition.
(WH Auden, 1907-1973)

I don't understand how the remainder of the clue works.

(Other definitions for auden that I've seen before include "W. H. -, English-born poet" , "US poet born in Britain" , "Wystan Hugh -, poet" , "W. H. -, English poet" , "W. H. -, Eng. poet" .)
