New poems with racy associations (5)

I believe the answer is:

epsom

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

'with racy associations' is the definition.
The definition suggests a singular noun which matches the answer.

'new poems' is the wordplay.
'new' is an anagram indicator.
'poems' anagrammed gives 'EPSOM'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for epsom that I've seen before include "Racecourse near London" , "Mopes around in English horse-racing venue" , "Derby race track" , "& 5 Purgative medicine" , "Derby town" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
