Poet is coy when clutching fashion magazine (7)
I believe the answer is:
shelley
'poet' is the definition.
(Percy Bysshe Shelley 1792-1822)
'coy when clutching fashion magazine' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'magazine' could be 'elle' (Elle is a magazine) and 'elle' is present in the answer.
'coy' could be 'shy' (I've seen this before) and 'shy' is located in the remaining letters.
This accounts for all the letters.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
'is' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for shelley that I've seen before include "Author of Frankenstein" , "Ode to the West Wind poet" , "Author of Ode to the West Wind" , "English Romantic poet" , "Mary - - (Gothick writer)" .)
