Generation embracing unknown beat poet (4,5)
I believe the answer is:
ezra pound
'generation embracing unknown beat poet' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I can't tell whether this works.
'generation embracing unknown beat poet' is the wordplay.
'generation' becomes 'era' (I've seen this in another clue).
'embracing' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'unknown' becomes 'z' (algebra).
'beat poet' becomes 'pound' (I've seen this before. I am not sure about the 'beat' bit.).
'era' placed around 'z' is 'ezra'.
'ezra'+'pound'='EZRA POUND'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Another definition for ezra pound that I've seen is " American poet".)
