"Inferno" poet (5)
I believe the answer is:
dante
'inferno poet' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
This is the entire clue.
(Other definitions for dante that I've seen before include "22 [FT SETTER]" , "Thirteenth to fourteenth century Italian poet" , "Thirteenth-fourteenth century Italian poet" , "Finally stand before" , "Italian poet, 1265-1321" .)
