Circle a section of a poem with a leading stanza from another country (8)
I believe the answer is:
overseas
'another country' is the definition.
Both the answer and definition are adjectives.
Maybe they are linked in a way I don't understand?
'circle a section of a poem with a leading stanza' is the wordplay.
'circle' becomes 'O' (O is a circle).
'a section of a poem' becomes 'verse' (I've seen this before).
'with' says to put letters next to each other.
'a leading stanza' becomes 'as' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'o'+'verse'+'as'='OVERSEAS'
'from' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for overseas that I've seen before include "abroad - with 12a" , "In a foreign country" , "In foreign parts" , "Exotic" .)
