'good example' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

'unfinished long poem as i see it' is the wordplay.
'unfinished' means to remove the last letter.
'long poem' becomes 'epic' (I've seen this in another clue).
'as i see it' becomes 'tome' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'epic' with its final letter taken off is 'epi'.
'epi'+'tome'='EPITOME'

'of' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for epitome that I've seen before include "Embodiment or perfect example" , "classic example" , "Paradigm" , "Model" , "Abstract" .)
