Pluralistic papers about poetry (7)
I believe the answer is:
diverse
'pluralistic' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are adjectives, I don't see how they can define each other.
'papers about poetry' is the wordplay.
'papers' becomes 'ID' (identifying documents are one's 'papers').
'about' is a reversal indicator.
'poetry' becomes 'verse' (lines written in verse).
'id' reversed gives 'di'.
'di'+'verse'='DIVERSE'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for diverse that I've seen before include "Many and varied" , "'Various, assorted (7)'" , "Disparate" , "Miscellaneous" , "Of different kind or variety" .)
