Observe commotion about woman's poetry, essentially (6,2)
I believe the answer is:
adhere to
'observe' is the definition.
(thesaurus)
'commotion about woman's poetry essentially' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'about' could be 're' (regarding) and 're' is located in the answer.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).
Can you help me to learn more?
(Another definition for adhere to that I've seen is " Abide by".)
I've seen this clue in The Independent.
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
