'one who wrote poetry' is the definition.
The answer is a person as well as being a singular noun. This is suggested by the definition.

'a university hideaway' is the wordplay.
'university' becomes 'U' (abbreviation for university).
'hideaway' becomes 'den' (synonyms).
'a'+'u'+'den'='AUDEN'

'from' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for auden that I've seen before include "US poet born in Britain" , "British-born writer" , "Wystan Hugh -, poet" , "W. H. ... (British poet)" , "W. H. -, Eng. poet" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
