Poet of a popular kind (6)

I believe the answer is:

larkin

'poet' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'of a popular kind' is the wordplay.
'of' indicates the answer is hidden within the clue.
'LARKIN' can be found hidden inside 'popular kind'.

(Other definitions for larkin that I've seen before include "English poet, 1922-85" , "English poet, d. 1985" , "Orchestral violins, violas, cellos and basses" , "Cab" , "Coventry-born poet associated with Hull" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
