Poet in some Hebridean island on time (3-5)
I believe the answer is:
day-lewis
'poet' is the definition.
(Cecil Day-Lewis, Poet Laureate 1968-1972)
'island on time' is the wordplay.
'island' becomes 'lewis' (I've seen this before).
'on' says to put letters next to each other.
'time' becomes 'day' (day is a kind of time).
'lewis' after 'day' is 'DAY-LEWIS'.
'in some hebridean' acts as a link.
This may not be correct. Some or all of it may belong to another bit of the clue.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Another definition for day-lewis that I've seen is " Cecil --, poet laureate".)
