clear

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

'easy to understand' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

'chapter by english poet' is the wordplay.
'chapter' becomes 'c' (abbreviation).
'by' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'english poet' becomes 'lear' (poet Edward Lear. I am not sure about the 'english' bit.).
'c'+'lear'='CLEAR'

'is' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for clear that I've seen before include "Open; not cloudy" , "Not obstructed" , "Unobstructed" , "Patent" , "Bright" .)
