Poet takes a different view (5)
I believe the answer is:
keats
'poet' is the definition.
(John Keats)
'takes a different view' is the wordplay.
'a different view' is an anagram indicator (I've seen this in other clues).
'takes' with letters rearranged gives 'KEATS'.
(Other definitions for keats that I've seen before include "English romantic poet, d. 1821" , "Author of Endymion and Ode to a Nightingale" , "One of two born together" , "John --, Romantic poet" , "Endymion, Lamia poet" .)
