Pluralistic papers about poetry (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

diverse

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

'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" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
