A poet among admirals? (5)
I believe the answer is:
blake
'a poet' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
I don't understand the remainder of the clue.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for blake that I've seen before include "artistic poet" , "English poet and artist, d. 1827" , "Songs of Innocence poet" , "William --, English poet/visionary" , "Exposed (to the air)" .)
