Peculiarly inapt poems from opposite ends of the earth (9)
I believe the answer is:
antipodes
'ends of the earth' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
'peculiarly inapt poems' is the wordplay.
'peculiarly' indicates anagramming the letters.
'poems' becomes 'odes' (ode is a kind of poem).
'inapt' anagrammed gives 'antip'.
'antip'+'odes'='ANTIPODES'
'from opposite' acts as a link.
This may not be right. Some or all of it may be part of another bit of the clue.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for antipodes that I've seen before include "Distant places" , "The other side of the world" , "The exact opposite" , "Australia and New Zealand viewed from Europe" , "home for Anzacs" .)
